SEEING THINGS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

It is always something amazing going on in our Anatomy and Physiology class here at the ALC. This is without a doubt, pretty a pretty amazing lab that they had this week.

Have you ever wondered what the lens of your eye looks like, the optic nerve, or what is behind your eyeball?

Well,  the student in the class got to see up close and personally how eyeballs work.  They dissected a cow eyeball and looked at the many structures of an eye.

Thank you, Ms. Hartvigsen and Mr. Blake for being willing to have such amazing hands-on experiences for these students.

It never ceases to amaze me what comes out of that class.

These students are amazing and very dedicated to their studies. Way to go!

Submitted by amy.ewell on

We had 24 students and 2 FIRST alumni show up for the FIRST Robotics RAPID REACT kickoff at ALC Saturday morning!  Waffles, fruit, drinks, and syrup got everyone in the mood (sugared up) for the 2022 Kickoff!  Several other students were not able to attend but watched the game reveal at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgniEjI9cCM

The team spent three hours reading the game manual, discussing play strategies, and shooting the Cargo balls at a makeshift upper goal.
