The Meats Team competed at the San Antonio Livestock Show today & did an excellent job!
Our FFA Meats Evaluation Team competed in the San Angelo Stock Show Contest this morning for their first time! These students did an excellent job for their first time in the freezer and spent time on the Angelo State University campus!
Due recent weather, out of an abundance of caution and tomorrow’s weather forecast calling for more frozen precipitation, we will be canceling our FFA attendance to the San Angelo Ag Mech Show for 2022-2023. This decision was not made lightly and student/staff safety when traveling must be the priority. Recognition for the work you have done is deserved and we will be pursuing other avenues for you to exhibit your work. Please know that I am very proud of each of you as students for your projects! Have a safe few days out of school and stay warm.

This week in our Law Enforcement I class, we are discussing and learning the importance of Crime Scene Sketching. How important details are in an investigation. I wanted to show our City View Family how hard our students worked on their sketches.
Great Job to these students!
Students competed today in the Boyd FFA Build Off Contest. Given materials, a plan and 3 Hours, students had to construct a fire pit. The team placed 7th out of 17 teams represented by 10 different FFA chapters, and won the award for Best Fire Poker!

CITY VIEW ISD LETTER FROM THE CTE DIRECTOR
Date: Oct 25, 2022
October brings cooler Texas weather, fall events, intracurricular instruction, student learning and positive culture throughout the CTE building. With the second six weeks of school comes hands-on activities in almost every CTE classroom for students to learn by doing. Upper level students within our Agriculture Cluster, Agricultural Engineering, and Nursing Science toured Texas State Technical College in Abilene, TX. Career and Technical Student Organizations are fully underway with student leadership events and conferences. The Texas Education Agency released an Updated Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs) and Programs of Study List with Resources. Needless to say, October has brought a myriad of opportunities for CTE at City View ISD.
On October 5, 2022 over 30 students classified as Juniors or Seniors within our Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources, and Health Science Career Clusters had the opportunity to take a field trip to TSTC in Abilene, Texas. Texas State Technical College (TSTC) offers several programs leading to the opportunity for students to earn professional licensure or certification within the state of Texas. Students were provided with a tour of five different industry professional training programs, including Electrical Power & Controls, Industrial Systems, Welding Technology, Emergency Medical Services, and Aircraft Airframe Technology.
FFA took 31 Greenhand FFA members, also known as first time Agricultural Students, to the Area IV FFA Greenhand Camp held at the Taylor County Fairgrounds in Abilene, Texas. Greenhand Leadership Camp introduced students to the benefits and opportunities in agricultural education, including Supervised Agricultural Experiences and FFA. The overall outcome of the conference was for students to get hooked on the opportunities available to them in the FFA. Students discover the three pillars to success (Me, We, Serve) and how those pillars relate to the overall foundation of the FFA. The students identified individual strengths they bring to a group, discovered how to use those strengths while working with others, and where they can take those strengths beyond the camp experience. Students were engaged by District and Area FFA Officers and left, ready to take on opportunities the FFA has to offer and continue to grow and develop as a student leader.
Additionally, the City View FFA Chapter Officers and Committee Chairs were able to attend the Texas FFA Excellence Leadership Conferences hosted at Midwestern State University. Leadership starts with the individual. This program focuses on personal growth and capitalizes on the wisdom, courage, and strength students need to be successful as individual leaders.The Excellence Leadership conference is facilitated by Ziglar Youth Certified Speakers and focuses on self-image, relationship building, and goal-setting. This leadership development experience helped FFA Officers and Committee chairs learn how to apply what they have learned in the FFA jacket to their chapter.
A Crosswalk of IBCs to Aligned Programs of Study is now available on the TEA website. This resource allows district personnel to support program development and planning by aligning IBCs to Programs of Study. The Statewide Program of Study Frameworks and Regional Program of Study Frameworks have been updated to include new and sunsetting IBCs, recently approved courses within Programs of Study, and an updated nondiscrimination statement. The documents are designed to be easily edited by districts to reflect local course and IBC offerings and to provide district contact information. House Bill 773 (2021) requires the Texas Education Agency to include the Program of Study Completers as an indicator within the accountability system.
With weather changing, students participating in events and new possibilities from TEA, Fall is certainly here and with it, new opportunities. It certainly is a great time to be a Mustang!
Sincerely,
Miles Vann
CTE Director
