Springdale Schools CTE News Update

Har-Ber High School veterinary science students are learning by providing dog washing and hygiene services for members of the community.

Services are provided by donation, the proceeds from which benefit the schools Future Farmers of America program and will be used to purchase grooming supplies and to help pay for student dog grooming certifications.

Donations may be made after services have been provided, in case students are unable to accomplish a task.

Dogs must be up to date on their vaccines to participate in this activity, and participants must complete one Google form for each dog to be signed up for services.

Dogs may be dropped off at the school in the morning and may be picked back up at the end of the day.

Leah Cavitt, Har-Ber High School Future Farmers of America senior, was named Grand Champion for her broilers at the Arkansas-Oklahoma State Fair in Fort Smith.

Cavitt's birds made the premium sale, and she won a $250 college scholarship and some cash for her bank account.

Thank you to Cobb-Vantress of Siloam Springs for allowing two different Har-Ber High School poultry science classes to tour their Quality Testing Laboratory.

Students learned about disease testing for birds and were able to see real-world poultry scientists and technicians at work.

Har-Ber High School's three veterinary science classes spent the first nine weeks of the school year working on the Fear Free Pet Certification for veterinary professionals.

Seventy students completed the program Oct. 27 and received their certifications that day!

The students are now qualified to work at vet clinics as kennel attendants and vet assistants, can work at any grooming business as an assistant and are qualified to work with any companion animal business.
