In Art 1 students recently finished learning about creating depth. They used 2 or 3 point linear perspective to create these drawings

Today, a few freshman JAG students took a trip to Scottsbluff to attend the 4H Medical Health Day. They broke out into different groups and got to learn about various careers within the medical profession in very hands-on ways. They participated in Stop the Bleed activities, they were trained on tying sutures, completed a few laparoscopic surgical simulations (one involving worms which was VERY fun to watch), did some urinalysis with various testing strips, worked to determine blood types from samples, got to see bread mold under a microscope, and got to work with various students from other schools to solve a breakout box using clues associated with the HR, accounting, and claims specialist professions within the medical field. Overall, it was a really fun experience for all and we all learned a LOT.

ELITE activities today: Girl Scouts, Dodgeball, Directed Drawings 😁
