Mr. Block and Mrs. Stewart sprang into action to help a snake at recess today that had become stuck in netting within the grass. Mrs. Bennett made sure it was all photographed staying at a comfortable distance. The snake was successfully released in another area to help ensure no students accidentally injured it. A great example of caring for all living creatures!

Our Medical Pathfinder students had an incredible, hands-on afternoon exploring the Radiology Department at Syracuse Area Health!
They got to step right into the action. Students watched an ultrasound in real-time and even got to see a baby on the screen, before getting the chance to try their own hand at using the equipment.
The group toured the facilities to check out the massive MRI machine and learn how it works. They also put their diagnostic eyes to the test playing a fun game of "What's in the Box?" using the X-ray machine.
They were in for quite the surprise!
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Syracuse Area Health for hosting our students, sharing your expertise, and inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals!

The small animal management class did a lab on canine reproductive ultrasonography. Students conducted an ultrasound our dog uterus (orange jello) to find the puppies (olives). The students' objective was to identify the shapes and freeze the image on our new ultrasound machine.
