Guy Berry College and Career Academy manufacturing and science classes have partnered with the city of Mountain Home, with a plan to place floating duck houses at each of the city park ponds. The houses are being designed and fabricated in the new manufacturing classes at GBCCA from wood and fiberglass. The ducks are being hatched, brooded and raised by the GBCCA science department. The first house and 5 ducks were placed at McCabe Park pond on December 20th.

MHJH and MHHS Winter Choir Concert - tonight in Dunbar Auditorium at 6:30!
Band holiday concert information attached!
We love when our little kids partner with big kids! Kindergartners drew pictures showing what they want to be when they grow up and shared them with Mrs. Corales' 6th grade Honors Class. The Pinkston students wrote letters about those jobs and sent them back to the kindergarten. Kindergartners in Mrs. Pitchford's class were treated with the "BIG KIDS" reading to them about different job opportunities. Career-connected learning at its finest!
