Bertrand's first Student-Based Business, the Viking Grind, opened today and was a huge hit! Our students in the hospitality and tourism pathway have been training on the equipment and concocting original, delicious recipes and it all paid off today! These students will graduate high school with an industry certification and valuable employment and entrepreneurial skills. A huge shout out to Mrs. Forster and all she has put into this venture to benefit our kids. Let us know if you had a chance to try things out today and how the experience was! #GoVikings #CTE #VikingGrind

Power Equipment Students are working on tearing down, cleaning, and putting small engines back together learning how the engines work and the different parts of the engine!

Plant science is learning all about plant parts. We started dyed carnations today to observe the flow of water up the stems. We can see which colors move up the stem the fastest.

The Viking Grind is officially making its debut this Saturday, October 18th at the Bertrand Craft Show! 💙
