December Student of the Month: The Iosco RESA Career and Technical Education Center would like to take this opportunity to recognize Tatiana Daly as “Professional Student of the Month” for December 2024. Tatiana is the daughter of Brian Daly. She is a senior at Whittemore-Prescott High School. “I am very pleased to be writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Tatiana Daly. Tatiana is a senior from Whittemore-Prescott High School and has been in the Welding & Fabrication program for two years. During her time here, she has risen to become one of our top welders and is very talented beyond her years. Her welding talents begin with her creativity. She has the ability to see the finished product before she even begins. It’s amazing to see her work methodically towards the end of her projects and the level of quality that she produces in such a short amount of time. She is currently working on several projects. One is her spider that will be part of her display that will showcase her talents at the Tawas Art Gallery. And, she is currently working with a group to create a bouquet of flowers. Each of these projects will be entered into our state competition for our MITES organization at the end of the year. Also, you have seen her work in the hallway. She created our display case and drew the welder on the poster paper. Tatiana is very deserving of this award because of her work ethic and leadership skills. Her leadership roles include: leading the student tours, serving on the leadership team, and helping to promote the Welding & Fabrication program as our spokesperson on the radio. Thanks for considering her for the December Student-of-the-Month award.”
To be nominated for “Professional Student of the Month”, a student must have outstanding work ethics, no absences or tardies for the month, no discipline issues and at least a B grade point average. Iosco RESA Tech Center offers the following programs for 11th and 12th grade students: Automotive Technology, Building Trades, Business Management, Culinary Arts & Restaurant Management, Health Science, Teacher Prep Academy, and Welding & Fabrication. For more information about these programs call 989-362-3006 ext. 1163.

Culinary Arts Thanksgiving dinner was held at the United Methodist Church in Tawas on November 21st. Culinary students worked all week to prepare food and practiced serving skills. The dinner was a donation dinner for the community. Traditional thanksgiving dishes, turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, apple and pumpkin pie were served. Students served 120 meals from 4:30 to 6:30.








Giving Tuesday is more than just one day—it’s the kickoff to the year-end giving season, a time that inspires generosity and compassion across the globe. This incredible movement raises awareness and funds for causes of all kinds, offering individuals and communities the chance to unite and make a meaningful impact. By connecting donors with nonprofits in need, it transforms good intentions into tangible actions that truly make a difference.
On December 3rd, Giving Tuesday, we invite you to consider a contribution to the Iosco RESA Center-Based School. Your support will help us continue to provide meaningful opportunities and resources for our students, fostering growth, inclusion, and community. Together, we can make a lasting impact!

We learned so much touring Kalitta Air last week! It makes us very excited for adult learners who will soon be able to complete their Airframe and Power Plant apprenticeship while pursuing their GED/high school diploma ✈️ This new program is possible thanks to our partnership with Kalitta Air and Michigan Works Region 7B!
Kalitta's Apprenticeship Program Manager Angel Melendez showed us the entire system at their base. It's amazing all of the processes, equipment, money, knowledge and skill that is in our little town Oscoda. It is truly the only space in the nation of its kind! Angel said, "We are the pioneers of aviation apprenticeships!" United Airlines is in the process of trying to build a center modeled after what we have right in our backyard.
If you or someone you know is pursuing their GED/high school diploma and is interested in doing a paid apprenticeship with Kalitta Air, please contact Mandi McDonald from our team. You can email her at mmcdonald@ioscoresa.net, or call/text 989-278-8762.
Stay tuned for more pictures and updates 😊
