NCTA 2024 Harvest Fest Success! Thanks to incredible community support and the NCTA Foundation, we raised over $4,000 in ticket sales at Harvest Fest! Community members from Skagit and Whatcom counties came together to celebrate the amazing work of our students. In addition, NCTA merchandise sales grossed over $1,500 for the Foundation, showcasing the creativity and dedication of our students. A special thanks goes to MVHS junior Camden Nelson, who secured the title sponsor, South Bay, LLC. Their generous funding provided uniforms for students participating in the event. Our students also had the privilege of working with top-quality food products, thanks to donations from local businesses such as 3 Sisters Farm, Grace Harbor Farm, Hedlin’s Family Farm, Schuh Farms, Skagit River Ranch, and Skagit Valley Co-op. These contributions helped make the event a culinary success. The event was featured in Go Skagit, capturing the essence of the evening. You can read the article here: Harvest Fest Coverage. If you missed the chance to grab official Harvest Fest and NCTA merchandise, it’s not too late! You can place your order here: NCTA Merchandise. We’re always looking for passionate individuals to get involved in future events. If you’re interested, please reach out to me directly at leaves@nwtech.k12.wa.us. Thank you for making this event such a success! For more NCTA news check out our November Newsletter: https://secure.smore.com/n/e17n4

They research, model, revise, and present their final creations to the community to celebrate their hard work. This year, we’re adding Pitch Day, where students will present project ideas to community partners like you. Your role will be to listen, provide feedback, challenge their thinking, and encourage their creativity. Pitch Day is Thursday, December 12, with two sessions: 8:30-9:30 AM and 12:00-1:00 PM. If you’re an interested community partner, please RSVP through this link, and feel free to share with others! We'd love to have your knowledge. For questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re excited to share our students' incredible work! rsvp: https://tinyurl.com/3aajyvwh *STUDENTS: Your CTE teacher will be sharing the link where you can pitch your project idea. **RUNNING START STUDENTS: If you have one or more classes at SVT but are also in running start, you will be participating Tradeshow.

Show runner: Leftover Loncon and her stage crew of turkeys. Seniors took home the Turkey trophy for first place. Very close second: Juniors...you brought a lot of heart, spirit, and competitive edge!

Until next year Gobble Games!!
