Mrs. Reindl went into Mrs. Mateer's computer science classes to talk to the students about data management, online tracking, facial recognition, and security. She discussed with the students that everything they do, post, and even view can be seen!! How colleges and jobs can check on their social media.

The high school boys from Mrs. Hoy's Rise room were able to learn how to drywall. Jesse Febus, the assistant in Mrs. Hoy's room, made a partial wall and brought it to the school to teach the students the fundamentals of drywalling. They busted holes in the wall and then patched them. This is going to be an ongoing activity for the class this year. These are skills that they might need after completing high school.

This morning, Mrs. May took her Child Care Occupation class on an exciting field trip to Central School Preschool. The purpose of this visit was to gain valuable experience and knowledge about preschool development. During the visit, high school students had the opportunity to interact with preschool students through various fun activities. These interactions not only helped the high schoolers learn about child development but also allowed them to engage with the younger children in a meaningful way. A huge thank you goes out to the following teachers for hosting our class and making this experience possible: Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Held, Mrs. West, Mrs. McKee, and Mrs. Waters. Your efforts in creating a welcoming environment for our students are greatly appreciated! Both the high school students and the preschoolers had a fantastic time together. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved, and we look forward to more experiences like this in the future!
Mrs. Reindl provided valuable insight on data management and security, focusing on both school and personal devices, to Mrs. Mateer's Computer Concept classes. She emphasized the importance of regularly checking and updating security features to protect our devices from potential threats. The students engaged in meaningful discussions about best practices for maintaining their digital safety.
