Nine great High School SADD members and sponsor Mrs. Becker attended the KS Teen Traffic Safety Conference in Wichita on December 10th & 11th. They heard from many speakers including members of Kansas Highway Patrol, Miss Kansas, Students, Sponsors and Testimonials from family members who have suffered loss due to crashes caused by distracted drivers. They brought home plenty of ideas for next semester, but more importantly, a reinvigorated drive to help influence peers to consider the consequences of distracted and unsafe driving practices.
Please stay safe out there. Buckle up and remember something as simple as a 2-second glance at your phone could cost a life.

Thank you to the 11 FCCLA members who designed, created and imagined an amazing 50th Winter Formal Dance called Rainforest Fantasy. The last pics show all of the amazing decorations. A special thank you to the carpet rolls donated to us by Murray Floor Covering for the amazingly crafted palm trees our members put together. Braxdon Penry provided entertainment to kick off the evening with his singing and guitar playing of “Dancing in the Sky”. Thank you to Jay Diamond who DJ’d the dance. Thank you also to our administrators Rhonda Frakes and Matt Stapp, along with staff Michael Spangler, Mark Farr and Staci Wittenberg for chaperoning and your support. A huge thank you to custodial and maintenance staff members Tim Roberts, Dallas Davis and Sammy Mowder who helped with supervising, setup and take down. Thank you to Emily Dodds and Caroline Davis for setting up and providing the service at our food and beverage table. Thank you to our additional middle school members who assisted in setup Friday evening. Thank you to Erin Schuster, Brian Abbott, Naomi Fawl and Lucas Kirkwood for helping with set up and to other family members and friends who will be assisting with cleanup and storage today.

Dissection week started out great for Mrs. Magill's students. This dissection is the culmination of the fall semester to go over all they have learned to this point in Anatomy class. Not for the squeamish!
First Aid week ended with Stop the Bleed training from Jefferson County Emergency Management, with Keith Jeffers. Students learned life saving techniques with compression and tourniquets. This event was organized by our health and human science teacher, Mrs. Stephanie Magill. District nurse, Abby Martin, was also on hand during the event. Way to go Tigers!
