Dear Career Tech Students and Families,
As we enter the final stretch of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey we've been on together and look ahead to the exciting opportunities that await us in the final quarter.
I have to say, I'm so impressed and proud of every single one of our Career Tech students. The dedication, hard work, and perseverance throughout this semester have been truly inspiring, and I know you'll continue to do great things in the weeks to come.
Remember to stay focused and motivated, and make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow. Whether you're preparing for competitions, completing projects, or mastering new skills, every step you take brings you closer to your goals and aspirations.
Let's keep supporting and uplifting one another, celebrating our achievements, and facing the challenges ahead with confidence and determination.
Wishing you all a successful and fulfilling end to the school year!
Dear Career Tech Students and Families,
On April 8th, a total solar eclipse will occur over William D. Ford Career-Technical Center, causing the skies to darken and transform the day into night. According to scientists, the sun disappears during an eclipse because it aligns perfectly with the moon at the right angle and distance. Although there are very few things that are perfect in life, this scene may seem magical or ominous to many.
With spring break upon us, it's a perfect time to reflect on our journey so far and look ahead to the final stretch of the school year. This is such an important time where we can really shine by working hard, being dedicated, and staying focused on our goals.
Spring break is a chance to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and do things that bring us joy, happiness and fulfillment. Whether you're planning a vacation or staying home, make sure you take the time to relax and enjoy yourself.
Dear Career Tech Students and Families,
We only have one more week until spring break, which is an awesome chance to take a step back from school and recharge ourselves. Once we're back, seniors will enter the final stretch, which is a crucial period to achieve their academic goals and set a strong foundation for their future. It's important to stay positive, motivated, and driven towards success during this time. Don't worry, we've got this! By setting clear objectives, creating a study schedule, and prioritizing tasks, we can finalize all the details and make sure we're well-prepared for the next phase of our lives. Let's work hard and make the most of this time together!
Kind regards,
Stephanie Bigelow M.A., L.P.C.
I hope this message finds you well. As we move forward with our exciting career and technical education paths, I want to emphasize the importance of integrity. Integrity should be our guide when it comes to our actions, decisions, and interactions.
In the world of careers and technology, maintaining honesty and ethical conduct is not just a personal virtue, it is also a professional necessity. It builds trust, credibility, and respect which are all essential for success!
Let us continue working together to create an environment where integrity thrives. This ensures that each student not only acquires technical skills but also embodies the ethical principles that set the foundation for a prosperous and fulfilling future.
I wish you all a journey filled with growth, knowledge, and unwavering integrity.
Kind regards,
Stephanie Bigelow M.A., L.P.C.

Dear Career Tech Students and Families,

Participating in leadership opportunities and competitions is vital for Career Technical students as it helps them to develop their overall skill set and prepares them for success in their chosen fields. These experiences not only provide a platform for students to showcase their technical abilities but also help cultivate essential soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. By taking on leadership roles in these settings, students are empowered to take initiative, make decisions, and manage projects, which mirrors real-world scenarios they will encounter in their careers.
Furthermore, engaging in competitions fosters a spirit of healthy competition, motivating students to excel and continuously improve their skills. In this competitive environment, students learn to perform under pressure and deliver results which is similar to the professional world. Winning or even participating in these events adds credibility to a student's resume, making them stand out to potential employers who value practical experience.
Apart from personal development, participation in leadership and competitions creates a sense of community within the Career Technical Education realm. This provides networking opportunities as students interact with peers, industry professionals, and potential mentors, establishing valuable connections to aid their future career paths. Overall, these experiences shape the individual student and contribute to the advancement and reputation of our William D. Ford community.
With this in mind, I'd like you to please be on the lookout in the upcoming newsletters for students' accomplishments, achievements, and accolades. We are excited to see what this semester will bring!
Warm regards,
Stephanie Bigelow M.A., L.P.C.
