CPR at CHS
New Ohio legislation now requires all high school students to receive CPR training, so prior to the last day of school ninth-graders went through the 30-minute training course. Licensed medical professionals from University Hospitals were on hand to conduct the training. Students learned about the proper CPR techniques and then got hands on practice using both infant and adult mannequins. While there is no certification provided, the class does give students the basic knowledge of how to perform the measure if needed.
Buddy Read
Continuing the annual tradition, CMS students read to kindergarten and first-grade pups on May 14. Students in 16 CMS classes paired with the younger classes and read aloud grade level appropriate books. Middle school students also prepared an activity to go along with the story like a game, craft or coloring page.
The event gives both younger and older students a chance to practice their reading skills and brings lots of smiles to faces. The teachers said the middle school students did a great job.
Pasta Bridges
During the school year, sixth-grade students built bridges out of pasta noodles as the culmination of a STEM project they had been working on in Mrs. Beth Tucker’s classes. Students studied and read about bridges, then took that knowledge and applied it to their own construction designs.
Using the engineering design process – a series of steps to follow to come up with a solution to a problem – students are used various types of uncooked pasta to build a bridge. Once construction was complete, students tested their bridges, evaluating for strength and rebuilding if necessary. Students were able to use any type of pasta and glue they wanted, but the bridge had to span 12 inches and hold a full 16-ounce water bottle.
