That Was Then, This is Now
Students in Mrs. Jenkins' American Literature 
class utilized Padlet, the online tool that allows postings to show up in a message board form. 
Students discussed their interpretations of why Connie was motivated to make the choice that she 
did in their current novel 
That Was Then, This is Now
 by S.E. Hinton. Students did a great job with their analysis!
Students Participate in Wound Lab
Mrs. Dews' Anatomy and Physiology students participated in a wound lab to finish up learning about the Integumentary system. They used tissue, latex, fake blood and makeup to create lacerations, punctures, avulsions, or abrasions.  Next they learned how to suture a laceration using suture materials and bananas, as is used in medical school. #MPANATOMYCHAMPS Click the Image below to access the videos.
