Samantha Barret, Ridley, won the state gold medal for Preschool Teaching. The three-part competition included a written examination on child development, a children's book reading and a lesson plan development. Barrett, who enjoys math, chose Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar and developed a seriation lesson using ocean animals.
"They were very competitive," Barrett said, "I was shocked when they announced my name as the winner." To prepare, Barrett said that she re-read her whole text book and practiced writing lesson plans on the spot." You don't know what they are going to ask once you get there," she explained, "so you need to be prepared and creative."
The Quiz Bowl competition tests a team of 5 competitors' ability to quickly resound to questions covering the areas of academic knowledge, professional development and current events. Participants respond to a question by activating a buzzer system. The DCTS team consisted of four Composite Fabrication & Sheet Metal students and one Culinary Arts student The team took 1st place at district level and 1st place again at state competition.

_______________________________
DCTS Marple is AWESOME!!! Im a 2nd level student and I love every experience I have gotten while attending!! I have been involed in so many different things such as FCCLA, working with children in the Autistic support program. These have been so amazing and given me memorable times!! The kids you meet are so funny, each with a personality that will lighten each and every day! We are all from different schools around the Delco area. You make new friends and form friendships with your teachers that go behond DCTS.
The teachers are so helpful and understanding; they will stop at nothing to make sure that each student is understanding and grasping every bit of knowledge taught. They help you with all your questions and even help you get into great culinary schools such as CIA and Johnson ans Wales!! I have been shown skills that I wil take with me upon leaving DCTS. I am extreamly thankful for everything that I've gained from DCTS. To my fellow graduates from DCTS, I wish you all the best!!! Good luck in your future culinary careers!!!! And to the the remaining students and the future students of Chef Young's class, keep up the great work! Never stop going after your goals and remember always shoot for gold!!
