Mrs. Bibby's Business Law I students participated in mock interviews last week. The purpose of mock interviews is to give students the necessary tools they need to lead their dream job. One student stated, "I am very thankful for your feedback to me and for helping me be prepared for future interviews." Another student stated, "I really do learn better when I can see for myself how something works or actually goes."
Thank you to Lorraine Bibby (retired DHS supervisor), Joyce Martindale (EHS CTE teacher), and Vincent Dawson (SAAC health sciences advising coach) who worked with Mrs. Bibby to interview students.
What an amazing lesson in life skills, Mrs. Bibby!

Mrs. Marlin's Chemistry students completed a lab where they boiled water and added salt to discover how the boiling point changes. Students had to weigh out salt properly and carefully pour into boiling water. Students used this information to explain inter molecular forces between the water and the salt. Very neat, Mrs. Marlin!
Learning a foreign language doesn’t have to be boring! Check out Ms. Allender’s Spanish I students playing "Simon dice" (Simon says). They used the game to help them practice parts of the body in Spanish. Buen trabajo!

While we are waiting on the final results from the EHS Cross Country meet this morning, we wanted to share a special moment that happened during the meet.
One of the 7th grade athletes, Zachary McMillon, went down with a knee injury at the beginning of the junior boys race. Senior JD Halstead saw what was going on and went to check on McMillon. When Halstead realized McMillon could not put any weight on his knee, Halstead took it upon himself to carry McMillion to the EHS tent for treatment.
And that, Wildcat Nation, is the true spirit of being a Wildcat. Thank you, JD and Zachary, for reminding us what being a student athlete is all about: leadership, sportsmanship, and friendship!
