WINGS Academy students have been busy this Spring semester in Life Skills. They have been working in the greenhouse preparing for the spring plant sale, and building their own fishing rods with Mr. Trumbull. They have been learning interview skills and participating in mock interviews, cooking, and learning how to measure and use a drill to install cabinet drawer knobs in the WINGS kitchen with Mrs. Martin. In addition, they joined the Alternative Education program in listening to a guest speaker from the Air National Guard - Tulsa.
