🍫🩺 Learning Was Sweet in Essentials of Healthcare!

In Mrs. Story’s Essentials of Healthcare class, students took a delicious approach to learning by comparing the layers of the integumentary system to a Snickers bar!

By breaking it down layer by layer, students made connections between the candy bar and the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, making a complex concept both memorable and fun.

Who knew anatomy could be this sweet? 🍫✨

🔬🧵 Forensics in Action!

Students in Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Staines’ Forensic science classes took a deep dive into trace evidence with a hands-on fiber lab!

Using microscopes, students carefully examined fibers collected from various articles of clothing, comparing characteristics like texture and structure to identify key differences.

To wrap up the investigation, students conducted burn tests on different fibers, observing how each one reacted to heat and even noting the distinct odors produced. These observations helped them distinguish between natural and synthetic materials just like real forensic scientists!

Engaging labs like this bring science to life and show how even the smallest clues can make a big difference in an investigation. 🕵️‍♀️✨

🧵🔎 Fiber Fun in Forensics!

Mrs. Alexander is bringing trace evidence to life as students dive into the world of fibers! From distinguishing between natural and synthetic fibers to understanding fiber transfer and how tiny clues can make a big impact on investigations, this lesson had students thinking like real forensic scientists.

Whether it’s cotton from plants or wool from animals, every fiber tells a story, and our students are learning how to read the evidence! 🕵️‍♀️🧶

Hands-on learning + real-world application = a great day in Forensics!

🐄🌟 Join Us for the Tift County Quality Steer & Heifer Show! 🌟🐄

📅 Monday, March 2
⏰ 6:00 PM
This is the final show of the 2026 season and features Tift County exhibitors only! These students have worked tirelessly all season to prepare for this moment, often with little recognition, and they deserve a packed barn cheering them on as they enter the ring one last time this year.

While the show begins at 6:00 PM, the hard work starts long before. If you’re able, come early to see the care, dedication, and preparation that go into getting each animal ready. Take time to meet the exhibitors and ask about their projects—they are impressive in the ring, but even more impressive outside of it.

Let’s fill the livestock barn with teachers, administrators, family, and friends as we celebrate their commitment and hard work!

We hope to see you there! 🎉

☀️🕵️‍♀️ Forensic Field Day was a hit!

Students in Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Staines, and Mrs. Hill’s classes enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day outside while rotating through engaging, hands-on activities. From testing their coordination with intoxication goggles to exploring a variety of outdoor games and toys, students had the opportunity to learn in a fun and interactive way.

It was the perfect combination of applying classroom concepts, getting fresh air, and spending quality time together. Everyone had a great time! 🌞🎉

Thomas isn’t just learning about leadership—he’s putting it into action.
As part of a structured mentoring role, Thomas has built dedicated time into his high school course schedule to travel to the elementary school and work directly with younger students. Elementary teachers sign up in advance to have Thomas come into their classrooms, where he supports hands-on learning through technology and STEM activities.
The equipment used in these lessons was funded through grants, expanding access to high-quality resources and providing students with meaningful, real-world experiences.
Through this work, Thomas is collaborating with teachers and students, learning through service and leadership, and achieving something bigger than himself—writing his own story while helping shape the stories of the next generation.
This mentoring program is part of an initiative led by Dr. Melissa Busbin through the High School CTAE Computer Science and Information Technology Pathways, designed to connect learning across grade levels and build future-ready skills.
A sincere thank you to Northside Elementary School for allowing us to pilot this program and for welcoming innovation and partnership into your classrooms.
This is what Collaborate. Learn. Achieve. looks like. 💙
