Healthcare Students Learn Greek Roots
Last week, Ms. Carter's Intro to Healthcare class got a dose of what to expect in the 2nd year Healthcare class by studying a unit over body systems & anatomical terms. This involved the students being able to correctly identify part of the human anatomy by it's correct Greek roots. This can be a tricky, sticky, puzzle!

Spanish Students Create Bilingual Books
Ms. Rowland's Spanish II students wrote and illustrated children's books in Spanish and English for a Spanish II project. Then they traveled to K.B.Sutton Elementary school and read their books to 3 Pre-K classes!
After reading MP students taught them numbers, colors, and how to salsa!
They also donated their books to the Pre-K classroom libraries!
Special shout out to Ms. Myers for printing and binding the books for us!

The McElhaneys, both referred to as "Coach Mac", are both gym teachers at Mary Persons.
