WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL students learn about careers in the dental industry

On October 20 two representatives from Dental Advisor, spoke to seventh-grade science classes at West Middle School.  

Ms. Yakas and Ms. Nelson informed students about various dental careers.  They stressed the importance of good dental hygiene by brushing twice a day for two minutes each.  Flossing is also necessary to prevent tooth loss.

In addition, they discussed how all dental products are scientifically tested before being used by the public.  The scientific method is employed daily by researchers and developers in all areas of the dental industry. 

West students found the speakers very interesting. Many students asked follow-up questions.  West staff appreciates Ms. Yakas and Ms. Nelson sharing information about their careers and now understands that all areas of STEM are incorporated in the dental industry.

WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL spirit pays dividends

Great Expressions Dental Center held a school spirit challenge in the fall at West Middle School.

Mrs. Bales and Ms. Forton’s first-hour Language Arts class won the contest and 30 backpacks were delivered to the class at the end of October.

The students received brand new blue backpacks filled with supplies. The backpacks included rulers, scissors, folder, notebooks, pencils, highlighters, crafting paper, erasers, stickers, magnets and glue sticks.

The bags also included personal products like toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and even Chap Stick! Way to go West students! Keep showing your Cardinal spirit!

PAES CLASSROOM holds appreciation luncheon

A big thank you to Mrs. Ampezzan and Principal Lancina for hosting the PAES classroom appreciation luncheon recently. The food was fantastic and the new expanded PAES classroom and transition lab looks amazing. A big thank you to all of our maintenance, custodial, electricians and heavy equipment folks for helping make this expansion a reality! The class was moved from the Career Center main building to the Titan building where the culinary and construction classes are located.  The room is bigger and better equipped for the type of hands-on job activities done by PAES.  It is also easier for to work with the construction/remodeling class, as they sometimes do.
