Approximately 150 students represented Apple Valley Unified School District at the Region Six SkillsUSA Regional Conference, of which 83 will advance to the state competition this spring. The regional leadership events took place Jan. 23 at Granite Hills High School and the regional skills events took place on Jan. 30 at and around San Bernardino Valley College. The regional competition attracted an estimated 1,200 students from nearly 60 schools.
AVUSD’s Brad Williams and Ryan Ostlie serve as the coordinators for Region Six, which spans San Bernardino, Mono, Orange, Inyo, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial counties. Williams said all of the district’s career technical programs participate in the competition and that the “most valuable takeaway” for students is the combination of “leadership skills and soft skills”.
Natalie Biendara, senior at Apple Valley High School received a gold medal in the Digital Cinema Production event.
“This year, I really connected to the prompt,” Biendara said, “so creating the video was basically just visualizing my dream.”
George Lasko, also a senior at Apple Valley High School received a gold medal in the Related Technical Math event.
“Related Technical Math sounds like a burden, and it was,” he said. “Except it was awesome being able to prove that I am good at math.”
SkillsUSA conferences are divided into two sections: leadership and skills. Leadership events hone in on soft-skills, such as public speaking, community service projects, public speaking and mock interviews. Skills events focus specifically on various skill sets, such as computer programming, automotive service technology, aviation maintenance, culinary arts, robotics, video production and health occupations. Competitions are judged by industry partners in corresponding career fields.
The Skills USA California 49th Annual State Leadership and Skill Conference will take place March 31 to April 3 in San Diego. State gold medalists will advance to nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. Last year, AVUSD sent 13 students to nationals and officials hope to continue this trend with expanding school programs and student opportunities.
On January 23rd & January 30th, AVHS CAMP took some students to compete in the SkillsUSA regional competitions for leadership and skills. Below is a list of our competitors. The people who won Bronze, Silver, or Gold move ahead to the state competitions. Some competitions allow extra teams to go on to state even though they don’t place.
Gold – Natalie Biendara & MacKenzie Goodrow
“This year, I really connected to the prompt, so creating the video was basically just visualizing my dream.” – Natalie Biendara
“SkilsUSA was a great opportunity for me to put my video skills to the test; and with the help of Natalie, we have achieved amazing results.” – MacKenzie Goodrow
Bronze – Morgan Kennedy & Ishmael Solomon
“Some difficult challenges are wondering if your video and ideas are great; the reward of being able to compete is greater.” – Morgan Kennedy
Mrs. Peratt- Her Photography Students and their photo entries.
Bronze – Taylor Valdes
“These are the photos I had taken down at the regional competition. Our prompt was to take Pictures of the college, in which I found was very easy, considering it was such a broad topic. I wanted to shoot abstract things while also being simple about it. I did not edit these photos very much.” – Taylor Valdes
Other Participants:
Blanca Mandujano
“These photos were taken on the RCC campus for this year’s SkillsUSA regional Photography competition. Our prompt was to take pictures of the campus and of the school. I wanted to get shots of the campus while still paying attention to the little details because sometimes the small things turn out to be the big things. I did edit the pictures a small amount, but they were only minor details like blurring the background and cropping the image a bit.” -Blanca Mandujano
Monet Marquez
“This year was my first year competing in SkillsUSA. For the regional competition, our assignment was to photos of the school. I tried to really capture the little things about the school, and events that were going on that day and show what made the school beautiful. I took two pictures at a swim meet at the school’s aquatics facility and the other around the actual campus. It was really a pleasure to shoot this beautiful campus.” -Monet Marquez
Danielle Poohar:
Gold – Taylor Valdes, Gabe Lopez, Blanca Mandujano
Gold – Christian Kauffman
Silver – Samantha Solis
Gold – Jelly Contreras & Madison Denkers
“This is Madison Dankers, she was my model for SkillsUSA in the Esthetics portion. The first picture is before I started any makeup or facials on her. The Second picture is a her wearing a facial mask that has peppermint in it to tighten the skin and aduki beans to exfoliate the skin. For my fantasy portion, I decided to portray the beautifulness of the beach. Mermaids represent beauty and are thought to be majestic. Because my theme was “Face of your State ” I decided to have Maddie wearing a crown that had different emblems on it that represent California but The Golden Gate Bridge being the one that caught your attention the fastest. I did this because I wanted the judges to look down and see that she was the water under the bridge and also see that California was a state that had many different kinds of beauty”.- Jelly Contreras

Ugly Christmas Sweaters 2015
Senior CAMPers Gabe Lopez, Taylor Valdes, and Jelly Contreras went with Mrs. Peratt and Mrs. Celie and company, to work on a photoshoot. We used steel wool, a whisk on a string, and a big imagination and came up with several good shots. These were taken in December of 2015 in Victorville, Ca.
