Mr. Lindenmuth took Seniors, who were already registered to vote, to cast their ballots in the primary elections today. These students had the opportunity to see the various polling places in their district. It was a great day for pupils to carry out their civic responsibility.
Students in the Parenting & Child Development class recently completed a toddler simulation. Students were tasked with completing various activities a toddler may complete, but with an added level of difficulty to make the experience new to them to mimic what a toddler may experience. Activities included drawing a self-portrait with their non-dominant hand, tying a shoe with one hand, and putting a puzzle together blindfolded.
Please see the attached flyer for a STEM Teen Leadership opportunity.
