✨ This Week’s SEARK Scoop ✨
It’s a big week at the SEARK Co-op, and we’re especially excited to host Girl Power! 💪
The Girl Power! Skills Tournament brings together high school female agriculture and construction students as they design and create projects using CNC Metal, CNC Laser, CNC Wood, or CNC Combination/Multi-Tool equipment. Using a production rubric, their work is judged while the girls gain hands-on experience and valuable insight into high-skill, high-wage careers that are often considered non-traditional for females.
We love celebrating learning, leadership, and the future of our workforce—way to go, girls! 🌟

Strategic Reading Day 5
Clear, effective communication is no simple task—it requires an understanding of phonology, orthography, syntax, semantics, and morphology. For many students, this complexity leads to playing possum when it’s time to plan, research, and write. As Maryanne Wolf describes in Proust and the Squid, the brain’s natural tendency to avoid effort can make writing a challenge.
