🌸 Bobcat Blooms Floral Design 🌸
Our Bobcat Blooms Floral Design students have been diving into the Principles and Elements of Design! 🎨
The first part of this unit focused on color theory and the color wheel. Students were challenged to create a unique color wheel that reflected their personality and incorporated items, interests, or things they enjoy.
We think they did an amazing job putting their creativity into bloom! 🌷✨ We love seeing their personalities shine through their work!

The Bobcat Blooms Flower Shop is excited to announce their Flowers of the Month Club! The purpose of this club is to increase the hands-on activities of the Floral Design class, while providing affordable and adorable arrangements for our club members. Each month members will receive an arrangement designed and created by the students of the GISD Floral Design classes. This program is designed to give students retail floral design experience with customers they know and love. This is not considered a fundraiser, but rather a career related student experience. You can purchase arrangements for individual months or purchase all three. I am in need of 18 more arrangement so each student in my class has a chance to work on an arrangement. I can only take 18 more so it will be first come, first served. If you are interested, please fill out the following; https://forms.gle/nhqrGy5zeydHCHbs5
Payment is due by and orders will close on October 7. We accept cash or checks (Made out to Gary ISD).
If you have any questions please come see me or email me.

Learning about FFA and a Life Skill! 💙💛
Mrs. Creech’s 8th and 9th Grade Principles of Agriculture students have been learning all about FFA Official Dress last week! On Friday, they tackled one of the most important skills—learning how to tie a Windsor knot!
Because let’s be honest… knowing how to tie a tie is a life skill that will come in handy long after the FFA jacket comes off!
These students will be pros before they know it! We’re loving watching them learn, grow, and add new skills to their toolbox.
