Shelby Nordstrom from Year Round Brown brought real-world business insights straight to our students! 🙌
As an Accountant and Operations Specialist — and a 2014 AOF alum — Shelby joined us on Wednesday, April 22 to dive into Operations and Distribution. Now working remotely from Erie, Pennsylvania, she shared how non-store retail works, including online retail, direct response, vending, direct selling, and even multi-level marketing.
Students also got some inside industry knowledge:
💡 YRB is not allowed by New Sunshine to sell products online
💡 Pricing psychology matters — lotions often end in 3 or 9 (think $49 or $153)
💡 Service pricing is all about tiers — single day, 7-day, monthly, and yearly options with add-ons
💡 Store layout is strategic — YRB uses a horseshoe design with premium services up front and key areas placed intentionally
We were also excited to welcome 6 students from Whittier as special guests for the day!
Thank you, Shelby, for giving our students a behind-the-scenes look at how operations really work! 👏

We loved welcoming Whittier 8th grade students into our kitchen for a hands-on taste of Baking & Pastries at CTE! 👩🍳👨🍳
As part of their visit, Whittier 8th graders had the opportunity to explore CTE classes—and a select few even got to join us for a few days for an extended, hands-on experience!
✨ Students got to:
• Make concha dough
• Whip up edible cookie dough
• Experience what it’s like to learn in a professional culinary lab
They also heard from a former CTE Culinary student—now attending the Culinary Institute of America—who shared what life is like in New York and what it takes to succeed in the culinary world. Talk about inspiration! 🌟
👏 Thanks for visiting, Whittier! We hope to see some future bakers and chefs back in our kitchens soon.

🚨🚑 Mass Casualty Simulation Day at the CTE Academy 🚑🚨
On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the CTE Academy will be hosting a community-wide Mass Casualty Simulation/Exercise. This hands-on training gives our students an incredible opportunity to work alongside local professionals, including the Sioux Falls Police Department, Fire Department, Patient Care EMS, and Southeast Tech students, to practice real-world disaster response.
🌀 What to expect:
Mock tornado
Mock plane crash
Mock school bus accident
Emergency vehicles on-site throughout the day
Our EMT students will be actively assessing and treating “patients” in realistic (but controlled and supported) scenarios, guided by experienced professionals. To enhance the experience, some CTE students—with parent permission—will participate as actors portraying victims.
📚 Important Notes:
Regular classes will continue as scheduled unless students are participating
Emergency vehicles will be present at the building all day
This is a training exercise only
We appreciate your help in spreading the word to avoid any confusion in the community!

🎓📊 AOF Day at USD | April 20, 2026
Our Academy of Finance students had an incredible day at the University of South Dakota learning from industry professionals and college faculty!
🍫 Professor Mandie Weinandt
Students participated in an M&M activity to understand standard distribution and took on the Prisoner’s Dilemma—exploring the big question: to share or not to share? 🤔
🎓 Admissions with Jack Smith
Students learned about USD’s 16:1 student-teacher ratio and explored over 200+ organizations—highlighting both academic and social opportunities on campus!
🌍 Ishmael Quaye – Graduate Assistant
Shared valuable insights on study abroad, peer advising, tutoring, and academic support available to business majors.
📈 Dr. Michael Peterson – Accounting/Finance
Students dove into a stock activity and gained key investing insights:
✔️ Less risk = higher dividends
✔️ Invest based on future expectations, not past performance
✔️ A great company isn’t always a great stock at a high price
✔️ Avoid the “bandwagon” effect
Thank you to USD for an engaging and educational experience! 🙌

Welding students from all across the Sioux Falls School District recently had the opportunity to put their skills to the test in the 7th annual Marmen Energy Weld-Off Competition! This fun-filled day gave students the opportunity to tour Marmen Energy, the Southeast Technical College campus, and come to the CTE Academy to see who could put their bead down best.
This day was really a celebration of the trade of welding. Sponsors of the event were on site to provide students with door prizes and info on potential future career paths. Each student put their skills to the test at CTE where they welded a small tool carrying case that was later judged by a group of professionals. At the end of the day an awards ceremony was held and the winners were announced. Fabulous (welding related) prizes were given out to the top students, and **drum roll please** Washington High School took home the Top Program Award!
Welding 1 Individual Results:
5th place - Peyton Stouth
4th place - Aiden Jordan
3rd place - Charlie McCloskey
2nd place - Eli Boyd
1st place - zave Aungie-Baker
Advanced Welding Results:
3rd place - Zayden Tjerdsma
2nd place - Joseph Johnson
1st place - Beckett Whitlock
Congratulations to everybody involved on a day full of celebrating the art and craft of welding! We look forward to watching you build the future, no matter what path you may take!
