CTE STUDENTS VISIT HEALTH FAIR 🥳

On October 19, 2023, Ms. Shalonda Brinkley's Contemporary Health students observed the Breast Cancer Awareness Health Fair at the Jefferson County Comprehensive Health Center.

Students were able to obtain complimentary health screenings, food, and visit numerous vendors. This trip was scheduled to supplement the students' classroom education.

On October 18, 2023, the students from Ms. Brinkley's Nutrition and Wellness class of the Jefferson County Career and Technical Education department, visited the Human Sciences department at Alcorn State University.

The students toured the Alcorn State University Child Development Learning Center. The department's faculty, staff, and students presented the program of studies available in two areas: Human Development and Family Science, and Food Nutrition Community Health Sciences.

Students gained knowledge about many employment opportunities through the completion of the program of study.

CHANCERY CLERK VISITS CLASSROOM 🥳

Ms. Serena King, the Chancery Clerk of Jefferson County, visited Ms. Brinkley's Resource Management class. Ms. King introduced herself and explained her position as the chancery clerk to the students.

Ms. King was invited to address the students on how, individual financial business can become public record, in some cases. King educated students on the definition of delinquent taxes and the procedures undertaken by the chancery clerk's office to inform taxpayers, along with the ensuing repercussions if taxpayers fail to take appropriate measures. Furthermore, Ms. King conducted a question-and-answer session with the students and rewarded those who successfully answered the review questions.

Ms. Brinkley personally expresses gratitude to Ms. King for accepting such a task at such short notice, and Ms. Brinkley intends to arrange a visit to the courthouse for the students to familiarize them with the various offices and politicians located there.

On Tuesday, October 31,2023, the health science students welcomed Mr. Matthew Greer, RN CCRN TCRN. Mr. Matthew Greer is a flight nurse for UMMC’s AirCare. UMMC’s AirCare services the entire state of Mississippi as well as the neighboring states. Greer shared his vast knowledge and experiences with the students and hopefully ignited a few interests in the profession. Students gained new exposure and were elated to have Mr. Greer.

Thank you, Ms. Benita Hammett for your outstanding leadership ! ❤️

Cyber Foundations is Taking Care of Business ! 📝

The future is looking very promising for our Cyber Foundations I students in Ms. Thompson’s class!

This students were dressed for their business meeting. A business meeting is a gathering of two or more people for the purpose of making decisions or discussing company objectives and operations.

It is safe to say our scholars know how to lead, organize, and participate in a successful business meeting. Their tasks included coming together to discuss business(problems, updates, celebrations) within their business. They were responsible for creating agendas, meeting minutes, sign-in sheets, roles, action steps, & dressing for business.

These students did an exceptional job! Things are looking up for our future leaders!
