Last week Digital Design 1 students learned measuring in fractions and after their lesson were challenged to beat an educational computer game. These are students who “beat the game” with 3 days of their lesson. Next step… memorizing fraction conversions to decimals against the clock!

Health Science
There were many family and friends present and the Child Care room served as the perfect backdrop for the Patient Care Technician graduation ceremony!!! One of the students shared a heartfelt and very moving tribute to Mrs. Girard and to her classmates during the ceremony. There were light refreshments afterward and it was a memorable experience for all. Family and friends were taking pictures galore!!
