On October 15, five young ladies from The MACC attended a conference at Ferris State University called Jill of All Trades. The mission of this event is to inspire young women to pursue careers in the skilled trades workforce. It is an annual event for female high school students to explore careers in the skilled workforce and technologies industries. During the conference, these young women learn from female mentors, Ferris State faculty, and a strong network of community partners. Attending with Shannon McClelland Tripp, our building principal, were the following students, pictured below from left: Brooklyn, a senior from Central Montcalm Middle-High School in the welding program; Jessica, a senior from Vestaburg Community School in the diesel technologies program; Haylei, a senior from Central Montcalm in diesel; and Nadia and Holley, both seniors from Carson City-Crystal Area School District in the welding program.

We are very thankful to them for taking the time to discuss careers in manufacturing and skilled trades with our students.

MAISD continues its Red Wagon Celebrations as we honor Ashley Reisbig, Educational Careers teacher at Montcalm Area Career Center. She was presented with her red wagon by Shannon Tripp, MAISD Associate Superintendent of CTE and building principal at The MACC. Shannon praised Ashley for her willingness to do anything she is asked and always going the extra mile. She provides additional support for students from other programs and welcomes them into her classroom. This year, Ashley is mentoring two teachers and continues to serve as a building sub when needed. She took on an expanded role when the new Career Development Model was released and worked to define that role. Ashley is adaptable to whatever is needed to make Montcalm Area Career Center a great place for students. We are proud to have her on . Thank you Ashley Leak Reisbig for being one of our MAISD Wagon Pullers!
