Aa’rin McDougal, a nurse practitioner and parent, was a guest speaker who came to the Health Science class on Friday to discuss her careers and job responsibilities. She discussed getting an EMT certification and then RN degree from Holmes in Grenada MS. She later decided to obtain her nurse practitioner license from MUW. She discussed the jobs she had and pros and cons to the profession. She told us about her experiences as a travel nurse during COVID and how hospitals are different in other states. We appreciate her taking her time to come to Health Science classes and educate us in the areas of nursing our students can pursue. Thank you!

Students in Coach McCain’s 7th grade science class are working on a “Harry Potter lab.” The purpose of the lab is to use the steps of the scientific method to complete each lab station: Sorting Hat (acids and bases), Beware the Blob (Oobleck), Love Potion (creating a lava lamp), and Troll Snot (slime). Coach McCain says her personal goal is to promote a passion for science with her 7th grade students. She says, “I want them to become excited about learning more about the world around them. The lab stations were aligned with various spells, charms, and potions from the book.”
