Instructor Charles Dickinson says, "Our brave leader, Clay Tomlinson, decided to try out our new trainer. This is a VR trainer we now use in our Automotive Collision Training. This is the VR trainer from SimSpray. It gives hands on training for our students before they go into the spray room. It helps reduce the amount of wasted paint material during training. My students love this new addition."

graduate. Hayley came to Riveroak as a dual enrollment student in the
Nails and Facials Specialty program, earned her license as a Full
Specialist, and now provides manicures, pedicures, and facial services at
The Nail Spot in Live Oak.

She has been cancer free for 19 years.Her story is a powerful reminder of why continued childhood cancer research matters.
