David Hopkins and Repair It Forward are at it again. This time Great Circle is the recipient. The computers were refurbished through Columbia Area Career Center's Repair It Forward program, which rebuilds donated machines and provides them to local non-profit groups. The five laptops were donated by Missouri Employers Mutual as they phase out old and roll out new laptops for their employees.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The Repair It Forward program is a great way for us to
ensure that our donated computers are in good working condition and have been
properly configured before they reach their new home” says Mike Teter, IT Resource and Performance Manager for MeM. “It’s a fantastic program that benefits both
students learning new skills and those in our community who are in
need of access to technology.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Great Circle is a premier provider of specialized
behavioral health programs whose highly-trained professionals serve thousands
of children and families in Missouri. Susan Reeves, Director of Advancement for Great Circle, is thankful for
the donation. “The gift of refurbished laptops increases Great Circle's
capacity to transform vulnerable lives by equipping our youth care supervisors
with advanced technology that allows for more efficient 24-hour staff
scheduling ”, says Reeves. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All Columbia Public School 8th graders were introduced to Columbia Area Career Center classes when they visited the high schools they will be attending next year. This event allowed students to experience a day in high school which included tours of the building by local high school students and demonstrations by career center students. Traditionally, 8th graders complete a 4 year plan of study in preparation for entering high school and selecting courses in which to enroll. Following the event, each student completed a survey. One survey was drawn from each middle school and the winner received a $25 iTunes Gift Card, donated by Partner in Education, Big O Tires.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The winners were as follows:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Students from<b> Meridith Haley's Wildlife, Conservation and Forestry class</b> at Battle High School together with Scott Keith of MU Landscape Division assisted in the planting of the <b>Battle Elementary Kindness Tree</b>. The Kindness Tree program was started to bring awareness and commitment to children's mental, emotional and physical health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Columbia Area Career Center and their partner in education, MU Operations, joined forces to assist in the various elements of the project. The wildlife students planted the Butterfly Magnolia, the official tree of the Kindness Tree project and CACC Graphic Design students, Michelle Algya and Rebecca Stannard designed the program and invitation. This is the second Kindness Tree event they have collaborated on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the dedication ceremony on November 20, Columbia Mayor, Bob Mc David recounted the history and the purpose of the Kindness Tree initiative; CACC Director Randy Gooch commented on the partnership between CACC and MU Operations; the 3rd, 4th and 5th choir performed a song about peace; Principal Jeri Petri remarked how the students observed Kindness as the character trait of the month in preparation for the dedication of the Kindness Tree. Muriel Battle Browder, daughter of Eliot Battle, offered her thoughts on the dedication of the Kindness Tree at the elementary school that bears her father's name.The program finished up with members of the student council reading poems about Kindness.</span><br />

The College of Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) at the University of Missouri hosted the 11th annual Tomato Festival held at Bradford Farm Research Center, September 3, 2015. Visitors were able to taste over 100 varieties of tomatoes as well as sample products made from tomatoes grown on the Bradford Research Farm. CACC Culinary students Giovanni Bartolacci, Lexi Miller, Chloe Sage, Taylor Moreau and Malcom Boone were among the local chefs who prepared dishes for the audience to sample. Giovanni Bartolacci, made a smoked tomato gazpacho with a balsamic reduction. Lexi Miller made a deconstructed bruschetta with ground cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and honey balsamic reduction. The students visited Bradford Farm prior to the festival to select their ingredients and brought them back to Columbia Area Career Center to prep them for the event. Guests attending the tasting who registered were given tickets to vote for their favorite prepared dish.<br />
Columbia FFA was also on hand to assist with parking duties.<br />

The Repair It Forward Program and Love, INC have partnered again to provide computers to those in need.<br />
<br />
Repair It Forward is a computer recycling program based at Columbia Area Career Center. Students enrolled in the A+IT Essentials class rebuild computers donated by area residents and provide them to those who do not have access to a personal computer.<br />
<br />
Love, INC, a local faith-based charity, provides a variety of goods and assistance to the underserved. The group identifies gaps in services in Columbia, and works to partner with volunteers, churches and agencies to address those needs.<br />
<br />
"Love, INC of Columbia has been very fortunate to receive this donation...and our clients are so grateful when they receive these computers. We could not offer this service without the generous donations of Columbia Area Career Center," said Mary Wardenburg of Love, INC.<br />
<br />
This is the second computer donation that Repair It Forward has made to Love, INC. Since it's 2014 inception, more than two dozen local businesses and charities have been involved in providing more than 150 computers to those in need.<br />
<br />
Career Center instructor, David Hopkins points out that Repair It Forward relies on public donations to keep moving forward. If you have a computer, laptop or tablet you are interested in donating, please drop it off at Columbia Area Career Center, 4203 S. Providence Road or contact David at <a href="mailto:dhopkins@cpsk12.org">dhopkins@cpsk12.org</a> .<br />

day<b> Teach Ag Academy</b>. The Academy is for high school students interested in becoming Agricultural Education teachers. Twenty
students statewide were selected to be a part of the Academy. Battle High School seniors, <b>Lily
Grant and Thomas Fenner</b> from the Columbia FFA participated in the event.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Participants interacted with Mizzou faculty, Montgomery County Ag Ed Instructor Jonathan Hoer, CAFNR
Coordinator of Student Services Laura Denker, and DESE Director of Agricultural
Education Leon Busdieker. Students experienced what it is like
to be an Ag instructor through lessons from the Curriculum for Agricultural
Science Education and demonstrated their own teaching skills by teaching to their peers. By staying in dorms, students had the chance to experience
the University of Missouri campus atmosphere and received a behind the scenes
peak at Mizzou athletics.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Agricultural Education
continues to grow in the state of Missouri and across the nation. Academies
like the one at the University of Missouri are an example of how a concerted
effort is in place to recruit, develop, and retain great teachers in
agriculture. </div>

Division of IT with Mizzou had the pleasure of knowing and working with Andy
McAllister who is an Alum of Rock Bridge High School. Andy passed away last
year and a group of his friends, who were Rock Bridge High School graduates as
well, created a paid internship in the area of Information Technology for
students of Rock Bridge. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a
student, Andy McAllister was known for his quick wit and dry sense of
humor. Often referred to as “the kid with the camera,” his list of photo
credits was long, with countless submissions to <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">yearbooks
and the school paper. An exemplary student and citizen was Andy as he
walked the halls. Andy succumbed to a lengthy battle with cancer in
November of 2014 and it is in his honor that this Internship is established.
Andy may not have been the most popular kid, but he’s a Bruin that made us all
proud. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

pleased to announce that <strong>Grant Powell</strong> has accepted the internship for the
summer 2015! Grant will be a senior at RBHS during the 2015-2016 school
year. He has completed several IT courses at CACC; Digital Media, A+ IT
Essentials and Information Technology 1. In addition to his classwork, he
was also a silver medalist in the 2015 Skills USA competition. Grant is
interested in exploring all aspects of networking, including hardware
installation and configuration. He will be working with the MU Data
Network team as they upgrade the wireless infrastructure on campus. </span></span><br />

Friday, May 1, 2015 staff from Columbia Area Career Center, members of the Partner In Education committee from MU Operations and Columbia Chamber of Commerce were on hand to dedicate the Kindness Tree. The intent of the Kindness Tree initiative is to bring attention to mental health awareness and provide a peaceful sanctuary for students to enjoy and contemplate acts of kindness. This was the 50th tree to be planted as a continuation of the Children's Grove project chaired by Anne Deaton and Susan McDavid as a way of showing the community's commitment to children's mental, emotional and physical health, happiness and safety.<br />
The collaboration began with the assistant director of MU Landscape Services teaching the CACC Landscape students how to select a healthy tree from a local nursery. The students planted the Butterfly Magnolia tree at the southwest entrance of CACC. The Ag Welding and Fabrication students constructed a bench that stands beside the tree. Graphic Design students Kylie Renwick and Robin Haithcoat worked in conjunction with the MU professional staff to design the invitations and program for the event. The dedication sign reads, "A single act of kindness can change a life forever" and serves as a reminder of the responsibility we have to one another to act kindly toward each other and the impact that a single act can have on others. Pete Millier, Director MU Botanical Garden read the proclamation issued by Columbia Mayor, Robert Mc David proclaiming May 2015 as a month to emphasize "a single act of kindness can change a life forever."<br />

Congratulations to Columbia Area Career Center's Repair It Forward program for winning the inaugural Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement award in Innovative Best Practices. According to Mayor Bob McDavid, "We established the MCPA award program to recognize excellence in sustainable practices demonstrated by local businesses and organizations who promote a culture of environmental responsibility."<br />
A+IT Instructor David Hopkins and his students refurbish donated computers and donate them to local organizations and individuals in need of a working computer thus reducing the e-waste that would end up in a landfill.<br />
<br />
The team was awarded a glass plaque created by local artist Susan Taylor Glasgow. <br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Energetic,
enthusiastic and eco-sensitive high school students in the Geographic
Information Science (GIS) program have won a $20,000 SkillsUSA/Lowe’s 2015
community Service Grant! Students from multiple disciplines have joined forces
to creatively prepare solutions for existing challenges at Columbia Area Career
Center. A self-sustaining watering system will capture rainwater from the roof
of the building and will supply necessary water for the Culinary Arts garden. A
rain garden will be created for water overflow and a new walkway on the north
side of the building will be installed. GIS students chose this project to
improve their school community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">According
to Jeff Homes of Lowe’s in Columbia, “the self-sustaining watering system
sounds like a great addition to the campus. We certainly support ideas that
will assist the students as well as being eco-friendly.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the Columbia Area Career Center SkillsUSA chapter are putting their
technological expertise to work. Students from Marketing, Construction
Technology, Agriculture, Geospatial Information Science, Civil Engineering,
Computer Aided Design, Culinary Arts, and Broadcast Journalism are responsible
for planning, organizing and implementing all aspects of this project. From
creating blueprints, preparing 3-D drawings to building, maintaining and
managing the gardens, these students have shown that “a lesson in solving real
world problems can begin with our own campus” said Laura Estabrooks, Project
Advisor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
