Director’s Message @CB Tech
As we approach November, I couldn’t be prouder of our students—this has truly been our best start yet!
We’re at 100% uniform compliance, phones are put away, and students are following directions and showing respect every single day.
We recently hosted our Fall Advisory Board Banquet, where our Culinary Arts students prepared traditional family recipes inspired by their cultural heritage. The theme, “Dinner at Grandma’s,” was a heartfelt success.
Our Medical Assisting and Certified Nursing Assistant programs volunteered at the Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, and Autism walks, while Advanced Construction built 40 custom toolbox centerpieces for the Annual Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser. Culinary is also contributing 10 desserts for the Dessert Dash—all made possible by the students’ creativity and supported by their own associations.
Our Video Game Programming seniors recently took an exciting field trip to Valve and DigiPen in Seattle. Meanwhile, our Auto Program received thousands of dollars in donated tools for student rewards, and thanks to the City of Moses Lake, we now have our very own donated fire truck for our Fire Fighting program! We even raffled off a Cooper Kupp football and hosted a Dessert Dash to raise funds for student travel during our recent Advisory Board Banquet. We are so grateful for the ongoing generosity of our community.
All students have now completed First Aid, CPR, AED, EpiPen, and Narcan training, earning two free college credits through BBCC. In addition, Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction, and Advanced Auto students have completed their OSHA 10 certifications.
Looking ahead, Engineering is preparing for the FIRST Robotics Competition, Culinary is gearing up for Bourbon and Bow Ties as returning champions, and all programs are diving into HOSA, FBLA, and SkillsUSA competitions.
It feels more like an event center than a school some days—but that’s exactly what makes CBTECH so special. Our students are engaged, motivated, and learning what it means to be both skilled professionals and outstanding citizens.
We invite you to visit anytime to see the incredible work our students are doing firsthand.
Warmly,
Christine Armstrong
Director, CBTECH

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!

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.

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.
Tuesdays–Thursdays: 8:45–10:00 and 11:45–1:00
October Dates: Oct 21–23 and Oct 28–29.
Stop by for breakfast, lunch, or brunch our students are putting out restaurant-quality food.

During Ambassador Day, our students showed a real enthusiasm for connecting with peers across programs — both socially and academically.
🔥 Fire Science students recently served as the jury for Criminal Justice’s mock trials, and they loved it!
🧁 Meanwhile, Baking & Pastry students shared germ-free blueberry streusel muffins with Allied Health while offering feedback on germ project posters.
We love seeing students making real-world connections between programs and learni#careerconnectedlearning

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.
