Come on over to New Market to get lunch, get your dog washed, your car washed/vacuumed, or your hair done!

Students from Criminal Justice, Pre-Vet Tech, and Fire Science came together to learn about the important work Search & Rescue K9 teams do in our community. Peggy and Alli taught students about the extensive training required for both search dogs and their handlers, how dogs are able to track human odor, and how K9 teams are used during real search and rescue operations. They also showed students the specialized equipment used by K9 teams in the field and explained how it helps during searches.
Students then got to see those skills in action during live demonstrations in both our AM and PM sessions, with Cricket successfully tracking two of our students!
We are grateful to Peggy, Alli, and Cricket for taking the time to share their expertise and give our students such a memorable, hands-on learning experience.

Students from Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center (CBTECH) joined the tour as AWB visited Moses Lake Industries, a high-tech firm that helps make components that certainly are in the high-tech device in your pocket.
Founded in 1984, Moses Lake Industries employs 524 people in the United States – and nearly 500 of them work at Moses Lake. The company produces ultra high purity chemicals used in the manufacturing of computer chips.
“Our chemicals are in virtually every electronic device that keeps America, and the rest of the world for that matter, running smoothly with advanced technology,” the company said.
AWB visited Moses Lake and Spokane during the 8th day of the 10th annual Manufacturing Week bus tour. #MFGisWA

Another amazing Fire and Fuel camp was held September 24-27th at Camp Touchet in the Umatilla National Forest. Thank you to the US Forest Service, US Wildland Fire Service, Washington Dept of Natural Resources and the Washington National Guard for all of their support to organize an amazing wildland training opportunity for our 39 students.

Culinary Cafe opens this week ☕️✨
Be mindful of when your program has its ordering day! If a student orders outside of their day and/or time, they will not get their order and they will not get a refund.

In 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀, it’s all about planning, prepping, preparing and picking up! 👩🍳🙌 The juniors are putting their newly learned recipe development skills to work as they prepare for their first ProStart competition at the end of the month, while seniors are busy making a variety of snacks for their weekly 🥨🧋𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽, a staff and student favorite and the newest addition to their Student-Run Enterprise!
Of course, the work doesn’t stop when the food is finished. Clean up is part of the process, too! 🧽✨ #TC3Pride #TriCulinaryArts #CareerReady #BuildingPathways
