DECA Participants Return from ICDC
On the 28, over 50 South Salem DECA participants made it back from the DECA International Career Development Conference [ICDC] in Atlanta. During their trip there was a bit of a scare on the 23 near the opening ceremony, due to a shooting which hurt five teenagers—unrelated to DECA—which happened near Waffle House where DECA participants were walking. They heard the gunshots, it caused panic, they dove for cover, then ran, but again ultimately nobody other than those five unrelated teenagers were injured.

CTEC Program Develops
On April 4, CTEC opened the doors to the center’s newest public-serving program, the CTEC Café. It was originally meant to open in the spring of 2020, but was delayed because of COVID-19. Additionally, on April 12 SKPS CTEC was scheduled to receive a $100,000 donation from Ashley HomeStores for program improvement. Needless to say, this looks promising for students participating in CTEC.
