Acorn Culinary Arts students are excited about their broccoli, jalapeños, and bell peppers. Their indoor grow tower somehow got spider mites and before they were able to eradicate them, the mites wiped out half the lettuce plants. Students were really afraid the mites would kill the whole tower. After much research, they were able to create a homemade bug spray that finally killed them. If you need a nontoxic spray for your plants, Dawn dish soap, vegetable oil, and water works!
Acorn FCCLA is partnering with Arkansas FCCLA in gathering new/gently used books and puzzles for Arkansas Children's Hospital as part of our state project. All donations will be taken to FCCLA State Conference on March 30th and the donations will be picked up that day by a representative from Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
If you would like to help, you can drop off donations to Acorn High School through February 25th.
February is Career and Technical Education month in Arkansas. Today was CTE Day at the State Capitol. Kenzie Daniels was in attendance today to represent Arkansas FCCLA and ORSD.

The FCCLA State Officers finished their day by having lunch at the State Capitol and working on state conference plans in the Family & Consumer Science Department at the Department of Career and Technical Education.
