SkillsUSA American Spirit Contest
The SkillsUSA student organization at the Birdville Center of Technology and Advanced Learning (BCTAL) has a team competing in the SkillsUSA American Spirit contest. As part of the contest, team members went to North Richland and North Ridge middle schools and Smithfield Elementary to work with students. At North Richland Middle, they talked to seventh- and eighth-grade students about the opportunities available to students at the BCTAL. They also went to Smithfield Elementary and North Ridge Middle School to help write letters to soldiers overseas. The team’s goals were to promote Career and Technology Education programs available for BISD students and show patriotism and citizenship by supporting our military. (Students from Birdville and Richland high schools helped with these projects.)
American Spirit team members are cosmetology students Victoria Navarro, Skylar Brimberry and Ariana Aquino.
