Teachers from the William Neff Career and Technical Center and the Washington County Technical School have developed a booth for display at the Washington County Fair. Posters depicting highlights from the various classes at the two schools are posted in the booth. Teachers have generously volunteered to man the booth each night. Brochures are available for interested patrons and candy is available for children.

The Neff racecar is also on display at the fair.

Wallace Middle School 6th graders were welcomed to the library by "Captain" Coleman and First Mate "Pippy Longstocking" (aka Mrs. Gibson). Students were asked to join the crew as cooks, engineers, meteorologists, and navigators. They were supplied with a map of the library and asked to find the related section in the library to their job on the crew. After their tour, our 6th grade students are ready to set sail and discover the many adventures available in the library. All Wallace Middle School students are now called on board the ship to embark upon a journey through the enchanted islands of Accelerated Reader where they will encounter mystery, excitement and adventure on their journey to reading success.

Students from the Building Trades, Electricity, Masonry, and Building Maintenance Classes began working with Habitat for Humanity on Thursday, August 28. The students were able to insulate over half the outside walls and floors during their visits.

The project is being led by instructors Mike Addison, Jimmy Garland, and Joe Wilson. Habitat provides low-cost housing to deserving families. Students will be able to take part in building several homes from the ground up during their time at the Neff Center. The current Habitat project is located on Colonial Road in Abingdon.
