This week Mrs. Livingston's Pre-K students are exploring and learning about pumpkins! Not only did they get to touch and smell the pumpkins, but they also discovered that pumpkins float. In a few days, they will get to count the pumpkin seeds and give them a taste! 🎃

Health Career Awareness day was held at Salina Regional Health Center today. 5 juniors attended workshops on many different levels of specialties. From highly specialized medical degrees and nursing to tech jobs and on the job training available to HS graduates. Students are then encouraged to narrow down interests and select a department they would like to job shadow during their Junior or senior year. Is your student interested in a career in health sciences ? Have them visit with Mrs Howard about how they can get started working towards a future in health sciences.


Come support our football seniors prior to kickoff at 6:40 PM!
