Kimberly Speece is currently serving as a student teacher for both Mrs. Becker and Mr. Williams in the Business Technology Department. This week's "Student Teacher Feature" will help you to learn more about this aspiring educator.
Last week, Mrs. Long took her 10th Grade American History classes down to the fallout shelter so they could learn more about the precautions taken during times like the Cold War (which took place from 1947 to 1991). Americans were afraid the Soviet Union posed a threat to them, so bomb shelters, like the one underneath Southern Columbia High School, were created. While down there, students got to see original emergency supplies provided by the government to ensure safety and survival in the event of a real bomb threat. Some of the original supplies were water barrels, toilet paper, and sanitary products. The students also watched a video from the 1950’s which taught them how to duck and cover if a bomb threat were to become imminent.
