Speaker Mr. Bill Martin, CEO Mercer Savings Bank

Tri Star Career Compact CBI class would like to thank Mr. Bill Martin, President & CEO from Mercer Savings Bank, for talking to students about many opportunities in the banking industry. 

Mr. Martin also discussed the importance of saving for the future. This was great way for students to learn from a professional. CBI students have learned about investing, annuities, financial advisors, bonds, CD's, budgeting, and much more. 

Mr. Martin's discussion of these terms helped tremendously with student learning and understanding.

Thanks again to Mr. Martin and Mercer Savings Bank!

Seven Students Employed at Visions Awardcraft in Celina

Seven Career Based Intervention (CBI) students are currently employed at Visions Awardcraft in Celina. The students are currently working part-time 20 - 25 hours per week while attending classes at Celina High School and Tristar.

In the photo above, Stephanie McCarter, Samara Wendel, and Austin Boeckman are silk screening awards that are distributed worldwide.

Alex List works in logistics, ensuring that products reach the correct destinations, and Mackenzie Lyle works in inventory and has been employed with Visions for two years.

Students not appearing in photos are Caleb Kraner and Evan Stachler.

Because several of these students are only 17 years old, they are only eligible to work for a manufacturing company like Visions Awardcraft because of their participation in a career technical education program. Students attending career tech. education programs receive safety training as a part of the class, which enables manufacturers to employ them.

Thank you to Visions Awardcraft for employing these seven CBI Tristar students!
