Today we renewed our Heart Safe School designation. Our Emergency Medical Drill was highly successful. We had a superior score and Mr Charles Wooley, the ACH Outreach Coordinator, had nothing but praise for our team. I am so proud of our teams and all the work they do to make sure our students are safe. Our initial designation was in 2019 and we are proud to maintain this designation.

👩‍👦Babysitting Basics 🧑‍🍼 Several students from 4th and 5th period FACS classes completed a Babysitting Basics course provided to us by our FCS Extension Educator. Students worked through information about developmental stages - infant through school age - including changing, dressing, feeding & burping, choosing appropriate toys and activities by ages/stages, health awareness, sanitation and safety, along with good business planning and practices. So proud of their engagement in the program today!

SWAG is asking for hygiene donations. Thank you in advance!!!

SWAG students participated in Southside's Mental Health 5K this evening.

Today, Juniors and Seniors completed the U of A Get Real - The Real Deal Activity. Students were given a life card that assigned them an occupation, income, and withholdings and deductions based on their status(single, married, children, child support, etc.) Students rotated through stations for housing, transportation, food choices, education, credir cards, childcare, communications, citizen action, and entertainment as well as others. They were required to make decisions at these stations based on their situational monies, writing checks to pay the bills, and keeping their register balanced as they went. We appreciate Ms. Hall, our UofA FCS Extension Educator, for bringing the program to us, Mrs. Becky Cornett for organizing volunteers and scheduling, and special thanks to our amazing volunteers that gave life experience and information in addition to running their stations.
