Modesto City Schools CTE

Giovanny "Gio" Naranjo Sierra, a Davis High School student, spent the week with Modesto City Schools mechanics as an intern! 🚗🔧

Gio was able to gain valuable hands-on experience in the world of mechanics while learning from skilled professionals. It was an incredible chance for him to develop skills and explore career paths.

Let’s give a round of applause to Gio, and to our Transportation Department for providing this excellent opportunity to our students! 👏✨

🚓✨ Exciting News! ✨🚓
Yesterday, Chief Gillespie made a special visit to check on the students' progress with the MPD Low Rider Community Project. The initiative is not only fostering creativity but also building connections within our community. 👏 A big thank you to Chief Gillespie for taking the time to support our students and encourage their efforts in making a positive impact in the community.

Another exciting visitor was Modesto District Representative, Narinder Bahia with Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil's office. She stopped by to present the students and volunteers with certificates of recognition from the California State Senate! 📜🏆

We're proud of our students and can't wait to see the final results! Keep up the fantastic work, everyone! 💪🎉 Modesto City Schools Modesto Police Department

Creativity and learning came together in our Education and Child Development 1/2 classes! 🎨📚

Students recently designed and created engaging bulletin boards that visually represent lesson plans focused on age-appropriate concepts for young learners. Through this hands-on project, students explored how meaningful displays can capture attention, support learning, and create positive classroom environments for children.

From colorful visuals to interactive ideas, these future educators showcased their creativity, collaboration, and understanding of effective early childhood teaching strategies! 👏🍎✨
