Waterloo Career Center

The answer to the week’s What is it Wednesday!

Students in the ⛳️Sports Turf Management⛳️ class at the Waterloo Career Center got their hands dirty planting four distinct varieties of grass seed!
From analyzing soil conditions to selecting the ideal seed types for durability, shade tolerance, and heavy foot traffic, these students are learning the exact science behind keeping professional athletic fields and high-grade sports surfaces in peak condition.

It looks like a simple patch of vibrant green, but is it?

Heart & hustle!

Our WCC culinary students and boys cross country team are joining forces to support our very own Coach Tyler Borneman and his wife, who have been at the UIHC NICU with their sweet baby girl, Blair, born 6 weeks early.

This Thursday, Oct 8th, at the MVC Cross Country Super Meet, drop by Baby Blair’s Fuel Station (cash only)!

A huge thank you to Tracey Hulme and her talented culinary students and WCC staff for partnering with the team and families to run this food trailer fundraiser. 100% of proceeds will go directly to support the Borneman family.

Come hungry, cheer loud, and help us fuel up for a great cause! See you Thursday!
