AHS Students Become Role Models at Creek View!
These kids were great role models today at the Cheetah Challenge! They played with the kids and made the indoor option FUN!
Healthcare Science Students Visit WellStar North Fulton!
The students had the opportunity to participate, as patients, in the trauma disaster drill for WellStar NF hospital. The purpose of the drill is for the emergency response team for the hospital and all healthcare professionals to be prepared if there was a disaster. The scenario for yesterday was a mass shooting and there was an influx of patients into the Emergency Department. The simulation allowed the students to experience different types of healthcare professionals, how to behave during a disaster as a healthcare professional, experience teamwork, and have a little fun in the process. The students really enjoyed it, and we made major strides in developing a partnership with the hospital and other healthcare professionals in attendance. The students and our growing healthcare program benefitted greatly from the entire experience on yesterday. One of the allied health students even noticed a mistake during the blood draw simulation, in the drill, that she was so happy she learned in class prior to attending the drill.

Chinese class students went to Atlanta Chinatown Mall and Chinese/Taiwan Culture Center on November 1st. It was a great experience of learning, exploring and applying Chinese in real life.
Spanish Students do Team Building!
Activities like "the human knot” and the "human swing” where students were “swung” back and forth between friends with their eyes closed were done. Spanish was used throughout the activities. This allows students to be totally immersed in the language and have lots of fun at the same time.

English Classes Perform Romeo and Juliet
For this project, students worked in groups of 3 or 4 to create a modernized script and production of Romeo and Juliet. Their modern version of the text was be set in modern times and employed modern English; however, the plotline remained aligned with William Shakespeare’s original version of Romeo and Juliet. Together, groups created a typed script in which they incorporated unit literary terms and vocabulary. Finally, groups blocked and performed their act and scene live for parents, administrators, and peers.
