Ms. Wrenn's driver education classes have been learning., Students went to the CuCPS transportation shop to learn from our mechanics on how to change a tire, check tire pressure, jump a car, check oil, and identify fluid container/reservoirs.
Yesterday, the students completed a Distracted Driving Simulation with VA State Troopers and YOVASO (Youth of Virginia Speak Out (YOVASO) about Traffic Safety). They had to drive through a course while being distracted by music, items in path, passengers, cell phones etc. to represent and show them how detrimental these distractions can be on the road. Thank you to everyone for making these learning opportunities happen. #WeAreCuCPS
Our CHS FFA teams had great day at the Southeast Area Rally. They completed against FFA chapters from the southern area which includes 29 counties. Areas of competition included public speaking, ag mechanics and vet science. Coach Fleenor said, " I'm very proud of our young people and their hard work. Most all of the school we were competing come from much larger schools with multi-teacher agriculture programs." The teams brought home individual and team awards. Way to go Dukes...#WeAreCuCPS
