During this week the week of February 12-16, 2018, MVCTC will be celebrating CTSO Spirit Week. It is held each year to raise awareness about Career Technical Education.
What is CTE?
Career and technical education, or CTE, is education that directly prepares students for high-wage, high-demand careers. CTE covers many different fields, including health care, information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality and management and many more. CTE encompasses many different types of education, from classroom learning to certification programs to work-based learning opportunities outside the classroom.

Please see the morning announcements and make sure you are following MVCTC dress code requirements at all times during these days.
Also, running the entire week during lunches, the BPA Chain of Love Competition by CTSO. We will be selling chain links during lunches all week. The links will be 25 cents apiece or 5 for $1 dollar. The money will then be donated to the Special Olympics. The winning CTSO by PERCENTAGE donated will win a Cookie Party and the CTSO Week Trophy!
Please see your CTSO advisors or officers for more information.
What is Special Olympics - Special Olympics is founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Special Olympics also believes that through millions of individual acts of inclusion where people with and without intellectual disabilities are brought together, long-standing myths are dispelled, negative attitudes changed and new opportunities to embrace and celebrate people with intellectual disabilities are created.
Special Olympics mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Special Olympics vision is to transform communities by inspiring people throughout the world to open their minds, accept and include people with intellectual disabilities and thereby anyone who is perceived as different.
