Last week our manufacturing instructor, Sal Lorenzen, set up a meeting with local manufacturing company ALTEK to discuss ways that they might want to partner with SVT to support our students growth and strengthen the pipeline into their industry. Representatives from ALTEK were impressed with the skills that our students are learning in our Advanced Manufacturing program and excited about the chance to partner and help provide industry support for our program.
One of our big goals this year is to build and strengthen industry partners for each of our skill center programs. If you, or someone you know, works in one of the industries we provide education in, we would love to be connected so that we can see how we can help each other! You can contact Amanda St. Pierre at astpierre@cvsd.org for more information!

Tues 10/21/25: Students in Mrs. Buratto's Environmental Engineering helped The Lands Council restore Thompson Creek, which feeds into Newman Lake. They installed Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs) to reduce phosphorus-laden sediment that causes algal blooms and eutrophication. Thank you to Kat Hall & The Lands Council for facilitating this for our students.

Tri-Tech programs are amazing. What a wonderful day of program collaboration. Pre -Vet, Pre- PT, Pre- Medical Assisting and Pre -Nursing all joined forces to explore surgical procedures and perform pumpkinectomies. Our students worked with unfamiliar teammates, formed functional groups and achieved their mission which were carved pumpkins that will be donated to local senior living organizations. It was a messy but great day!

🫀 A heartfelt day in Sports Medicine!
Our Sports Medicine students took their understanding of the cardiovascular system to the next level by getting up close and personal with a sheep’s heart. Nothing says “hands-on learning” quite like a scalpel and aorta. 🩺🐑
With compassionate curiosity (and impressive composure), they explored every chamber and valve, solidifying their knowledge one coronary artery at a time. Truly, science at its most… dissected.

Nothing says Fall like pumpkins and today our preschool students went on a field trip to Country Mercantile to play and find their perfect pumpkins. Our Early Childhood Education students had so much fun with the preschoolers.

CBTECH Fall Advisory Board Banquet
Last Thursday, CBTECH proudly hosted the annual Fall Advisory Board Banquet, bringing together industry professionals, educators, and students for an evening of connection and collaboration.
Each program invited its Advisory Board members, comprised of local industry experts who provide valuable guidance to ensure our programs align with current workforce standards.
Our talented Culinary Arts students and instructors catered the event, serving over 120 guests with a heartwarming menu inspired by comfort foods and nostalgic dishes reminiscent of Grandma’s kitchen.
Guests enjoyed favorites such as chicken and dumplings, chicken mole with Mexican rice and handmade tortillas, Mississippi pot roast, Sunday sauce and meatballs, gouda & caramelized onion mashed potatoes, and cabbage salad. Dessert offerings included apple and peach pies, date cookies, mini conchas, medovik, and streusel.
Adding to the evening’s charm, several community volunteers showcased traditional “grandma” activities such as sewing, knitting, flower arranging, tortilla making, and cookie sharing, creating a warm and nostalgic atmosphere.
During the banquet, we proudly recognized Michael Minor, Grant Transit Authority, Okanogan Specialty Fruit, Samaritan Healthcare, The City of Moses Lake Fire Department, and Sila Nanotechnologies for their continued support and commitment to CBTECH students.
Following dinner, each program held breakout sessions with their advisory boards to review industry standards and discuss strategies to ensure students are career-ready upon graduation.
The evening was a tremendous success — a true celebration of partnership, learning, and community.

It's mini-design day!! We kicked it off yesterday during flex and learned what the problem was/found our groups.
Here is this years task: SVT needs new games that include at least 4 players, are school-appropriate, fun for teenagers, and can be played at SVT game night (physical product).
Mini-design helps our students practice the design/engineering process, work in teams, practice presentations in front of a group, have FUN!! And of course, INNOVATE. We love seeing our students creative ideas.
We will be sharing more throughout the day, possibly on stories or here.
