Another Career and Technical Education course is providing students with industry experience.

Wylie High School’s Advanced Floral Design class is making floral arrangements for Pirate Petals, a flower-of-the-month club.

This subscription-based service provides monthly fresh floral arrangements to its subscribers. All arrangements are planned and designed by students in the floral design classes.

“The fun part is actually arranging it,” junior Yamileth Arzola said. “Trying to find what goes where, the right height, right color, right size. It’s like a puzzle.”
