Vicksburg-Warren Students Give Back During CTE Month

Helping and doing good for others and the community can make a real difference in the lives of people and organizations in need.

Career and technical education (CTE) students in the Vicksburg-Warren School District participated in community service opportunities during February’s CTE Month.

Health Science I and II students practiced taking vital signs of students and staff for Healthy Heart Awareness. Business, Marketing and Finance students designed heart awareness information cards and prepared treats for the 100 residents of the Bluff Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center.

National Technical Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America students donated baby diapers to the community-wide diaper drive.

These community service projects allowed students the opportunity to practice important employability skills — such as leadership, problem-solving, responsibility and time management — and apply their classroom learning to real-world experiences while improving the lives of others.
