Mrs. Yancey’s World History students are bringing learning to life as they explore the continent of Africa through food! In a delicious hands-on activity, students made seafood turnovers inspired by African cuisine, similar to empanadas but filled with crayfish, crab, and African spices. To make it their own, each student created a custom dipping sauce using sour cream, herbs, and condiments after a fun discussion on the familiar dishes each spice is commonly used in. The creativity (and flavor) was off the charts! #PanthersRISE

Students in Medical Skills and Health Science Foundations recently put their knowledge into action as they learned and demonstrated Basic Life Support (BLS) techniques for adults, children, and infants.

They also trained on how to use an AED and practiced strong team dynamics with clear roles and communication — all essential components for anyone entering the healthcare field. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Ryan’s AICE Psychology students took their learning to the next level with a competitive Chutes and Ladders–style review game! In teams of four, students tested their knowledge of the 12 key studies they’ve explored this year, evaluating each in terms of generalizability, reliability, validity, and ethics. Here’s the twist: no notes allowed, and you can’t roll the dice unless you get the question right! With the game board projected on the screen, students brought energy, strategy, and critical thinking to the classroom. What a great way to prepare and review! #PanthersRISE
