🍬🫁 A Sweet Way to Learn About the Respiratory System!
EMT students learned the anatomy of the respiratory system. As they learned to trace air from the mouth and nose to the lungs, they constructed a 3-D model of the lower airway using yummy treats. Afterward, they were able to eat their sweet treat! This was a great way to demonstrate understanding of the structures that make up our respiratory system.
Carpentry and Machine Tool students participated in a structured field study to Cooley Group and Silgan in observance of Manufacturing Month.
During September, Law Enforcement Services students gained valuable instruction and hands-on experience in fingerprinting, evidence collection, and documentation during their crime scene investigation unit. These activities helped strengthen their knowledge, confidence, and career readiness.
A special thank-you to our guest instructors from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office for sharing their time and expertise. We especially appreciate Captain Carroll, Sergeant Payne, Deputy Vitek of the Community Engagement Team, and Deputies Ellis and Price of the Crime Scene Investigation Unit. They supported our hands-on activities and gave students an opportunity to learn from law enforcement professionals.
We also thank Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Heanton from the South Carolina Department of Corrections’ Kershaw facility for speaking with our students.
