JELCC Canned Food Drive

  
CTE Week gives us time to reflect on the core values of Career Technical Education. 
Service Learning is a key component to CTE. JELCC students modeled this value as they raised over 1,000 canned goods to donate to a local MSDWT elementry school food pantry, Nora Elementary School. 

Nice work, JELCC students! We are proud of you!
