SkillsUSA is a state and national organization
that gives high school students the opportunity to belong to a
group that stresses leadership, team-building, professional
development, and community service. Students may participate in
regional, state and national competitions in technical and action
skills area.
The IVVC SkillsUSA students have big plans for this year. They
will start out with a cookout and motivational speaker on October
18. Their first big fundraiser will be a Veterans’ Day Pancake
Breakfast at the Sandwich Fire Station on November 11. More
details to come on that event.
This year’s Skills advisory team is made up of six members of the
IVVC staff: Trisha Gabehart, Health Occupations, David
Hoskins, Drafting and Design, Nick Little, Auto Mechanics, Vince
Logan, Law Enforcement, and Val Wathen, Resource and Jane Wolf,

Congratulations to all new officers and to all members who have
