Proud to share that Jamie Molina and Lynn Hernandez, two of RFL's team members, are volunteering as judges at the Skills USA conference in Corpus Christi this week!

They're representing their commitment to skill development and mentorship outside of their roles, showcasing the spirit of community and leadership RFL values. Wishing them a great experience!

'SkillsUSA' competition takes over downtown Corpus Christi According to event organizers there will be 6,500 competitors across more than 150 events setting the stage for the national competition in Atlanta.

Join us in celebrating RFL’s Director of Creative Services, Amy Guadagnoli, as a featured artist in the "Relics of Abstraction" exhibit at Commonwheel Artists Gallery.

In this article, Amy shares a compelling anecdote from her visit to William Shakespeare’s grave in England: “You could buy postcards of his grave and people were taking film photos of themselves at his grave,” Guadagnoli said. “But one man was sitting with a piece of parchment and making a wax rubbing of the grave. It stuck with me. It’s part of why I do woodcuts and why I do it the way I do it. The postcard and photo say I was here, I saw this. The rubbing is the only one that says I not just saw it, but I touched it.”

This philosophy shapes her work, encouraging a unique experience of her art.

Raku, woodcuts featured in new exhibit near Colorado Springs Commonwheel Artists Gallery's new exhibit, "Relics of Abstraction," will feature raku pottery by Jerry Rhodes and woodcuts by Amy Guadagnoli. The free opening reception is 5-8 p.m. Friday.

Preparing all students for careers of the future!

Career and technical education (CTE) is important for all students because it provides them with career exploration, skills and knowledge as they make informed decisions about their future careers.

TEA recognizes the vital role school counselors play to help students navigate the world of CTE as they prepare for post secondary success. TEA provides comprehensive training programs to equip school counselors with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively advise students exploring CTE (Career and Technical Education) options.

The sessions include:
- Programs of Study: Guiding students through structured sequences of courses aligned with specific career fields.
- Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs): Preparing students for nationally recognized credentials that enhance their employability.
- Work-Based Learning (WBL): Connecting students with real-world experience through internships, apprenticeships, and other hands-on opportunities.
