Hands-on Learning at Forbush High

Students in Mr. Jason Cockerham’s Technology Engineering & Design class at FHS constructed paper towers, paper platforms, and ping pong ball launchers. 

Mr. Cockerham’s Construction Core students at FHS built a concrete pad form, poured concrete, floated the concrete, and then put a broom finish on it at the baseball field.

Principles of Business and Finance Students Learn "The Reality of Money"

Roger Cook and Kelly Hicks from the Yadkinville branch of the State Employee's Credit Union presented "The Reality of Money" to Mr. Wagoner's students on Tuesday, March 22nd.

Each student was assigned a job, salary, family status and a credit score and had to make real-life decisions about housing, transportation, groceries, childcare, etc. with the realities they were assigned.

This was real-world learning at it's best!

Child Development Students Host a Mock Baby Shower

Students in Mrs. Saddler's class at Forbush High School finished up the prenatal unit in Child Development and planned a Baby Shower with food, games, and decorations. They wanted it to be a gender reveal baby shower so they selected 2 mommas-to-be by drawing names out of a hat. Then revealed the gender with a balloon pop at the beginning of the shower. Each table worked hard to develop a game to play at the shower. Students had a great time playing games and enjoying food prepared by students in the Food & Nutrition 1 class.
