8th grade students during the 4th quarter take a Project Lead The Way course called Medical Detectives with Mr. Johnson. In the 9 week course students play the role of real-life medical detectives as they collect and analyze medical data to diagnose disease. They also solve medical mysteries through hands-on projects and labs, measure and interpret vital signs, examine nervous system structure and function, and investigate disease outbreaks.
Yesterday, we kicked off our Girl's Basketball Pop-Up Camp with Coach Taylor Runyan leading the way! Girls from 5th to 11th grade joined in, practicing dribbling, shooting, and running some drills.
