SkillsUSA: a unique program in Paso Robles

As local schools struggle to meet federal and state mandates toward student performance, shining lights continue to illuminate the many positive things happening within our schools — SkillsUSA being one of those.

It’s both an honor and pleasure to see our students excel year in and year out. From the Region 2 competitions in February, California State SkillsUSA Competition in April to teh National SkillsUSA Conference and Competition in Kansas City, MO in June, Paso Robles students continue to bring home top honors.

Competing against students from across the nation, the contests’ challenge student’s skills developed in their individual areas of choice study: everything from carpentry to nursing. The myriad of competition categories are a testament to the growing interest in the variety of vocational offerings being presented through the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. Many of the skills learned through these programs are directly transferable into the local business marketplace, giving students workplace experience and the real-world skills needed to be successful.

For those who haven’t had the chance to see the SkillsUSA students in action, several contests are held throughout the year. If you’re interested in supporting a program that enhances the vocational skills of students, many of which excel outside a traditional classroom environment, donations to the program are warmly welcome.

Training throughout the year, he’s proud to be involved in an event that’s become a part of authentic Paso Robles. An avid runner, Field is excited to participate in this year’s event.

Donating to local charities: The Wellness Kitchen

Giving back to the local community is a large part of doing business for insurance agent Field Gibson.

That’s why when it came to to choose a local real estate agent to provide representation, the choice wasn’t simple. But because that sense of community giving is so important to us, it made sense to choose Heart to Heart Real Estate.

On Sept. 7, Gibson joined co-founders Mark McConnell and Liz Lee Marziello in presenting a $1,380 check to The Wellness Kitchen in Templeton. The Wellness Kitchen serves meals to those in critical need including those with medical ailments who are unable to serve themselves. Heart to Heart Real Estate donates money to local nonprofits at the close of escrow.

Gibson teamed up with Heart to Heart in an effort to support the local community and the nonprofit and donated the funds following a local real estate transaction.
