Merry Christmas
Our last check in with Elf on the Shelf Baby Brooks for this year.
He got in a little trouble. With Christmas almost here he snuck into the Culinary lab to get some cookies. SRO Deputy Thomsen was called to the scene.
Baby Brooks would not give up that cookie, so Deputy Thomsen had to handcuff his feet.
Well played Baby Brooks. Well played!

Elf on the Shelf Baby Brooks decided that if he was going to look the part of C-TEC's holiday ambassador he had better pay a visit to our Cosmetology program.
They did him up right!

The Vet Science students recently had a visit from the Licking County Dog Warden who came in to talk with them about the animal shelter and what it’s like to be a dog warden. They learned about animal laws, daily responsibilities, and even got to check out the truck used to transport dogs. The highlight of the visit was meeting a special guest — Atlas, the Cane Corso! What an awesome learning experience for everyone!

Seems appropriate to share a pic of our Culinary students making pastries. Just fits the time of year, doesn't it?

Our Elf on the Shelf Baby Brooks got away from us this week. We don't know how. He can't even crawl yet!
But he snuck into our Mechatronics program lab. Luckily junior Tosh Camp got a hold of him before he was able to reprogram everything!

After landing the gig, Elf Baby Brooks headed off to the LPN lab to get a checkup and to make sure his vitals are good. We need to make sure he is up to the hard task off being C-TEC’s Elf on the Shelf.
Our LPN students tried to get good results, but it was a little difficult with this patient.
Join us every Saturday to see what apprentice Elf on the Shelf Baby Brooks gets into during his initial Christmas season at C-TEC!
