Exploring Agriculture at Project RED! Nearly 300 fifth graders visited the Magnus Center Campus on Tuesday, September 22, for Clare County Farm Bureau’s Project RED (Rural Education Day), hosted by Clare-Gladwin Career & Technical Education.

Students explored 13 hands-on stations covering everything from livestock, dairy and honey bees to maple syrup, apple cider, wildlife, crops and farm safety. Along the way, they learned how agriculture connects to the food we eat, the products we use and the world around us.

A big thank you to the local producers, organizations and volunteers who shared their knowledge and gave students the opportunity to experience agriculture up close!

Congratulations to Bob Hunt (Farwell graduate) and Alexis Brooks (Harrison graduate) for representing the Clare-Gladwin CTE Culinary Arts program at the 2026 Nate Santelli ProStart Summer Camp!

During the four-day camp, they learned from culinary professionals, built new skills, and connected with other ProStart students from across Michigan. Both Bob and Alexis shared that they had a great experience!

We're so glad they had the opportunity to attend, and we're proud to support experiences like this through proceeds from our Culinary Arts food sales. Great job, Bob and Alexis! #CTEitsWorking #CGRESD

Clare-Gladwin CTE is pleased to support the City of Clare and the Youth Police Academy, providing local students with valuable opportunities to learn about careers in public safety.

Throughout the academy, students have learned from professionals representing a variety of agencies, including the Michigan State Police Motorcycle Unit, the FBI, the Isabella County Prosecutor's Office, the Michigan DNR Law Enforcement Division, the Clare County Sheriff's Office, the Clare County Dive Team, and military police. These presentations gave students a firsthand look at the many career paths available in law enforcement and public safety.

Today, participants are wrapping up the academy with a visit to Camp Grayling, where they'll tour the installation and experience a special stop at the aerial gunnery range to watch F-16s from the Ohio Air National Guard conduct training exercises.

Thank you to the City of Clare for organizing this outstanding program and to all of the agencies and professionals who made this experience possible for our local students. @CityofClare #CityofClare #CTEitsWorking #CGRESD #youthpoliceacademy

Clare-Gladwin CTE NEXTGEN SUMMER CAMP successfully wrapped up yesterday, and it went out with a bang! Over the course of three days, campers entering grades 3–6 and 7–10 took part in one of nine exciting CTE programs. Depending on their chosen program, students spent the final day either finishing projects, exploring an ambulance, participating in an automotive scavenger hunt, learning about construction equipment, making homemade ice cream, simulating a live broadcast, racing balloon cars, decorating cupcakes, and much more.

Thank you to all of the campers and staff who made this year special. We enjoyed sharing our facilities, programs, and instructors with you, and most importantly, having fun together. We hope you had a great experience, discovered new interests, and made lasting memories.

We can't wait to welcome everyone back next year as we continue to grow CTE NEXTGEN Summer Camp and make it even bigger and better!
