This month, the Arts Building has been busy with activities. Earlier this month, FFA, under the leadership of Mr. Mabury attended Farm Fest in Springfield, MO.

Last week, Mrs. Alcorn’s classes and Mrs. Johnson’s Prostart class participated in some interesting activities. Mrs. Alcorn’s class gathered fall leaves and then investigated the leaf cells under a microscope. In Mrs. Johnson’s class, students participated in a communication lab. Students paired up to prepare Molten Lava Cakes.  The twist was that one student was blindfolded and had to have verbal instruction from the partner. It was a great exercise to reinforce the importance of good communication skills in the kitchen.
