Digital Design 1 & 2 – The Digital Design students created a variety of button designs for the 2105 GeorgeFest. All designs will be on exhibit at the Eustis Art Museum, where the visitors will be the judges. Visit the museum and vote for a Lake Tech Digital Design student from June 1 through June 30.

Students were also working on Mother’s Day cards. What a beautiful tribute to the special moms who have influenced the lives of the Digital Design students.

Business Management & Administration
Accounting Operations and Administrative Office Specialist – Students have completed another busy week. As we approach the end of the semester we are ramping up our experiences with both interview and customer service practices. These are valuable lessons as our students prepare for graduation and summer jobs.

In the pictures below, Zana Dudley being interviewed by Kasey Steele, Joey Williams, and Cherry Doty. All of our students get the opportunity to participate.

We also have been improving our customer service skills by seeing how our students would react in different situations. In the picture, Brandon Goff is reacting to a unique problem that Suzanne Auritt and Karen Horton are presenting. As you can see Karen “stole” the show for her portrayal of a spoiled child!

One part of our program that everyone either loves or hates is to give a presentation to the class. It is something they will do in business so the more practice the better.

And finally, we want to recognize the Moms in our Business Classes. Here we see Carolyn Shiflett being congratulated by Megan Bateman and Dr. Lindamood. Carolyn has five children, two of whom have attended Lake Tech.

Adult Education
ESOL – ESOL Instructor Marvina Hooper and her students are gathering hotel sized toiletries for CASA DAVID. CASA DAVID is very similar to a Ronald McDonald House and is located in the capital city of Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. They give people a safe, comfortable place to sleep, eat, shower and even wash their clothes while family members are hospitalized. Help us help them! Bring your hotel sized toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, body cream, soaps, toothpaste, and razors to the kiosk this week. They also need white bath towels and white twin sheets.

Joshua Benton and Carmen McKenzie earned their Florida Ready to Work credentials this week. Congratulations to these two adult education students!
