Carr Receives Scholarship

|
Congratulations to Jordan Carr! He is the recipient of a $3,000 scholarship!
Southern Rivers Energy and the Southern Rivers Energy Trust, Inc. awarded $15,000 in scholarships to five local students. This year the Trust received 36 qualified applications from across the nine-county service territory to be judged blindly by a scholarship panel made up of retired teachers. Applicants were evaluated on the core values that Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, like Southern Rivers Energy, incorporate in their business model: innovation, integrity, accountability and commitment to community. The scholarship committee also reviewed GPA, community and school involvement and letters of recommendation.

Students Dissect Rats
Mrs. Griffin's Anatomy & Physiology classes recently dissected rats in
order to study the structures of the digestive system. They discovered that
many of the female rats were pregnant so the fetuses were extracted &
preserved. Ms. Duncan's Psychology classes then used the various stages
of developing fetuses (bottom picture) to help better understand the
reproductive process in their Developmental Psychology unit. Mrs. Griffin
will
also use the babies in her upcoming Reproductive/Human Development
Unit. Cross-curriculum ideas hard at work!!

Attention Seniors
The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid.
ALL students must complete this form regardless of parent income.
