Check out the list of items to bring in for a raffle ticket.

Whitney Williams from EmergeOrtho spoke to a couple of Mrs. Clayton's Biotech classes about physical therapy. She gave students valuable information about what it takes to become a physical therapist and what they do. She then showed students different mobility tests and demonstrated how she uses different equipment in her practice with multiple students. It was an awesome experience for our students!

Last Thursday, Ms. McCormick’s chemistry class had Kara Price, a guest speaker from NC State’s College of Textiles, come and talk to students about the differences between natural and synthetic fibers. They then got to perform a fiber identification burn test on several different types of fibers to try and identity whether they were natural or synthetic fibers. The students (and Principal Martin) enjoyed this hands-on experience!
