Mrs. Bradley's early childhood students had the opportunity to participate in a crucial training session led by Tanya Ware, where they received their CPR, First Aid, and AED certification. This training has given the students a sense of confidence and readiness in case they ever need to use these important life-saving skills. Such proactive education can have a lasting impact, potentially making them more vigilant and prepared throughout their lives.

Students from Ms. Weiss’ Therapeutic Services Program and Mr. Hancock’s Biomedical Science Program competed at the HOSA International Leadership Conference in Houston, Texas. This is a huge competition with hundreds of students in each category. Although we didn’t bring back any medals, we had a great experience sharing the enthusiasm of like-minded students from all around the world. We also visited museums, the Houston Zoo, and other sites around the huge city. While returning home the flight was rerouted due to storms causing us to miss our connecting flight. As a result, students also were able to spend a couple of days sightseeing in New York City. While in NYC students visited Times Square and Rockefeller Center. They were also able to stroll through Central Park before returning to Monroe County.
