Book Club
T he SCCTC Book Club has
34 members involved in
the club. In addition to
monthly meetings, members are
also provided with online oppor-
tunities to answer discussion
questions through Blackboard.
Elisabeth Claxon, Media Special-
ist, said, “The goal of the Book
Club is to support literacy be-
yond the classroom through
reading for enjoyment. Another
goal is to keep expanding their
literacy skills and passion for
reading.”
The Book Club is an extracurric-
ular activity that is completely
funded by fundraising and dona-
tions. Funds are used to pur-
chase books for each member.
Students are encouraged to keep
the books in circulation by pass-
ing them on to friends and fam-
ily.
Recently the Book Club was the
recipient of a donation from the
Joseph Spencer Chapter, Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,
N.S.DAR. The Chapter's dona-
tion will provide funding for the
books needed for their first selec-
tion of the school year.
Presently the club is reading and
discussing the book “Five Feet
Apart” written by Rachael Lip-
pincott, Mikki Daughry, and
Tobias Iaconis

Shoemaker is a graduate of The Ohio State University where he obtained a B.S. in agribusiness and applied economics with a minor in community outreach education.

Philip Cox here! I am a recent graduate of Shawnee State University. My background is in manual machine tooling as I grew up in a rural community in New Lexington, Ohio. I have always had a knack for mechanics and general repair. That being said, I’ve always had a passion for teaching and assisting others in reaching their goals. After graduating from my local high school I decided to further my education with a degree in CADD and while at Shawnee State I decided to get my Plas-tics Engineering degree. This plastics degree gives me a unique perspective into the overall se-quence of injection molding processing as well as rapid prototyping and developmental processing. This allows me to develop models for 3D printing with the students in the engineering program at Portsmouth West.
On September 26th, students from our Carpentry and Welding programs attended "She Dig", an event held by the Ohio Operating Engineers Apprenticeship and Training. The event called for female students from Southern Ohio to learn about the opportunities avail-able within the fields of construction. Our students also had the opportunity to operate various machines and receive one on one instruction from employees currently in the field.
“She Dig”
