CCHS CTE & Art Show

CCHS CTE & Art Show
by Leanna Lehman -- Churchill County High School students and teachers hosted their Career and Technical Education, CTE, event along with their annual Art Show Tuesday, May 15th. Student work was showcased various mediums of artwork including ceramics, clay pottery, watercolors, acrylics, and more. Art instructor, Jaime Shafer, displayed works from students in grades 9-12, with an impressive gallery style event. Although no pieces were for sale, several pieces rivaled those often seen in professional studios. Rebecca Mayer, instructor for photography, graphic design, and yearbook had works on display from students in composite photography, which layers different photos to create a unique piece of artwork in which students also tried their hands at mat cutting. Students each had portfolios with the works completed this semester in a range of styles. This year’s CCHS yearbook was exclusively done by nine sophomore students who, new to the class, produced an impressive annual with minimal help from Mayer. They also were forced to work within a much more structured page limit that in years past, in an effort to keep students costs down. The hardbound yearbook is 80 pages, an impressive feat for a school with a student population of over 1,000 with numerous sports teams, clubs, and student organizations. Other students works included wood shop and wood working, automotive shop, the greenhouse, health science displays and more with some live demonstrations for parents, family, and attending community members. CCHS has a long and impressive history for work in Career and Technical Education, vocational classes, and elective classes that foster student creativity. Several CTE students have graduated from CCHS an chosen a vocational path, often later starting local businesses or entered into fields essential to a maintaining a healthy productive economy.                               Support local, independent news – contribute to The Fallon Post, your non-profit (501c3) online news source for all things Fallon.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
