Last week, Mrs. Long took her 10th Grade American History classes down to the fallout shelter so they could learn more about the precautions taken during times like the Cold War (which took place from 1947 to 1991). Americans were afraid the Soviet Union posed a threat to them, so bomb shelters, like the one underneath Southern Columbia High School, were created. While down there, students got to see original emergency supplies provided by the government to ensure safety and survival in the event of a real bomb threat. Some of the original supplies were water barrels, toilet paper, and sanitary products. The students also watched a video from the 1950’s which taught them how to duck and cover if a bomb threat were to become imminent.

Ninth Grade students in Mrs. Becker's Office Applications class were recently provided with a bag of Valentine's Day candy and asked to sort and log the candy in tables in an Access database. They then created queries of the data based on characteristics of the candy. Students were able to enjoy the treats at the end of the lesson.
