Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stiles’ 3A English 4 class has explored mental and physical perseverance while reading Unbroken and studying real-life teens who have survived harsh wilderness situations and everyday challenges.

Mrs. Assad helped connect those lessons to lifesaving skills by demonstrating basic CPR and how to use an AED. She also encouraged students to pursue CPR and first aid certification.

Thank you, Mrs. Assad, for sharing your knowledge and showing our students how being prepared can help them make a difference when someone needs it most!

Last week, Best Buddies took a CBI trip to shop for their upcoming match party, buy lunch for a picnic, paint pumpkins, and stop in for a treat at one of their sponsors, Blue Ridge Creamery!
