Mr. King’s Essential’s of Healthcare class visits BRES for Basic Healthcare Lessons

Rebel's Corner

Students in Mr. King’s Essential’s of Healthcare class at FCHS had to choose their end of the semester comprehensive assignment. These students chose to present a “Basic Healthcare” lesson to our 5th grade students at Blue Ridge Elementary. They are hoping to present to East and West Fannin next week.

The lesson included how students could recognize an emergency and how to contact 911. It also include having student make a cheat sheet with their home address and important information they may need to know during an emergency. The lesson also taught student how to recognize signs of stroke and heart attack as well as what to do if someone passes out, has a neck injury, or is in a fire situation. The FCHS student also taught and demonstrated how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and how to do “Hands-Only” CPR.

The FCHS students were Rachel Bruce, Cassidy Culpepper, Aerial McKinney, Gracie Stewart, Gage Merck, Angela Alverez, Eden Callegari, Dadrian Flowers, Emilee Herendon, Hallie Sosebee, and Hannah Sosebee.

These students are currently enrolled in the Essentials of Healthcare course at FCHS. Each of these students will have the opportunity to enroll in any of the following classes to complete their pathway: Sports Medicine, Emergency Medical Responder, Patient Care Fundamentals, Pharmacy Operations and Fundamentals, and Allied Health and Medicine. Each of the third level classes offer some form of certificate or credential. Classes such as the Patient Care Fundamentals and the Pharmacy Operations and Fundamentals offer students a chance to sit for their credentialing exam. If student successful meet all requirements and pass the state exam, students can graduate from FCHS as a Certified Nursing Assistant or Pharmacy Technician. Many of these students have plans to complete multiple or even all of the 3rd level courses offered which could allow them to graduate with multiple credentials.

Blue Ridge Elementary Students and Teachers are embracing this new online and home learning

Blue Ridge Elem, Rebel's Corner

Blue Ridge Elementary Students and Teachers are embracing this new world of COVID-19 online and home learning. Our teachers are amazing and have embraced their new tasks with passion, creativity, and love. Our students have shared a wide variety of emotions and feelings with us. Some enjoy being home playing video games and having downtime, but most miss their friends and teachers (and quite possibly the routine!). Google Meets and Zooms bring students and teachers together to provide connection and bring smiles and laughter through what can be a lonely time.  Our paraprofessionals, nutrition staff, and bus drivers are working hard to get meals to students as well as connecting with students through calls and snail-mail.

My favorite teacher (my mom) said, “We can’t change what is happening, but we CAN control how we react. We, teachers, love our kids and each other, we will show that love through this unprecedented time!”  We are proud of the love we see in our BRES Staff!

RES Hosted Annual STEAM Night

Rebel's Corner

BRES hosted its annual STEAM Night on March 10, 2020. Students created cardboard arcade games in small groups during weekly STEAM classes led by BRES STEAM Teacher, Ms. Teresa Tate. This project was inspired by Caine’s Arcade, a 9 year old boy from Los Angeles who created an arcade completely out of cardboard boxes and everyday objects. Our students researched arcade games, planned, designed, and journaled their game in groups, then worked hard to engineer them. Prizes, such as gently used toys, were also donated by BRES families and teachers for students to choose from with their tickets redeemed from games. A Big Bear hug goes out to Mr. Dan Goswick, Lynn Reist, and Holly Sloan who volunteered and came to our STEAM classes to help students with the creation and assembly process! All of the arcade games were set out around the BRES cafeteria where families came and played the games. Students enjoyed showing off their creations and playing their friends’ creations. Thanks to all who came out to support our students and school. We hope the BRES Cardboard Arcade inspired our students to be creative!
