HOSA STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

Jo Byrns High School HOSA attended the state Leadership Conference in March. Students

were involved in various competitions as well as courtesy corp, where they were given the op-

portunity to assist in management of the competitions.

MeLeigha Hester, a sophomore at JBHS, placed first in the state in Researched Persuasive

Speaking after delivering a powerful speech on the topic of minor

autonomy in healthcare. MeLeigha will

advance to the international competi-

tion in June as a representative of

JBHS, Robertson County, and the State

of Tennessee. JBHS is excited about

where HOSA is taking them in the first

year of its presence in the school. (by

FBLA HAVE WINNERS AT THE STATE CONFERENCE IN CHATTANOOGA

Springfield High School

Future Business Leaders

of America (FBLA) re-

cently attended the State

FBLA Conference in

Chattanooga. With over

2000 people in atten-

dance, three SHS stu-

dents won state awards.

Anighya Crocker won

1st place in Impromptu

Speaking after two

rounds of competi-

tion. With this competi-

tion, he was given a

topic and then 10 min-

utes to prepare his

speech and then present.

Lizbeth Martinez won 4th place in Insurance Risk and Management. This was an objective test.

Logan Binkley won 5th place in Economics

which is also an objective test.

Both Anighya and Lizbeth automatically ad-

vance to National FBLA competition this

summer in Atlanta, Georgia since the top four

automatically advance. If any of the top four

can not attend then Logan and some other

SHS students who placed in the top ten could

move up to compete.

We are super proud of all of the Springfield

FBLA students who represented both SHS

and Robertson County well at State. We wish

them luck at National FBLA Competition. (by

US ARMY RECRUITERS DISCUSS NUTRITION AND MREs

The Nutrition Science and Diet Therapy class at JBHS recently had a visit from Staff Sgt. Fuller

and Staff Sgt. Bornstein of the U.S. Army. Fuller and Bornstein are recruiters, but they put re-

cruiting aside for the day and talked to the class about MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) and nutri-

tion. Students learned why soldiers are issued MREs and about the nutritional value of MREs.

Although the students had many questions about the nutritional values of MREs, the most fre-

quently asked questions were “What is your favorite?” and “What do they taste like?” Luckily,

the latter question was answered when MREs were passed out and students were allowed to

sample any of the items they desired. Most of the students were surprised about the variety and

taste of the food.

Staff Sgt. Bornstein talked to the students about MyPlate.gov and how that relates to nutrition

in the Army and also asked students about what changes they would make to MREs. It was an

extremely informative and fun lesson for the students. (by Jill Ashworth)

BI-ANNUAL CAR WASH A BIG SUCCESS

ERHS HELPS PREPARE THE COMMUNITY GARDEN AT THE YMCA

East Robertson FFA left Wednesday April 20th 2016 to help prepare the Community

Garden at the local YMCA for the incoming Robertson County School district students.

These students will learn about Agriculture, planting a garden, and they will also get to eat what

they grow. This garden encompasses everything FFA stands for, Learning to Do, Doing to

Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve. The East Robertson FFA members were happy to

get the raised garden beds ready for the incoming students to plant. In addition, the East Robert-

son FFA chapter will be donating some vegetables out of their greenhouse for the students. We

would like to thank the YMCA for allowing us to come out and help with the garden! (by Will

Elliott)

Students in Mr.

Trey Baker’s

automotive class

spent the week of

April 25th wash-

ing cars for both

faculty and staff

at Springfield High School. The automotive classes sponsor the car wash bi-annually–once in

the fall, and once in the spring–with proceeds

going to the general needs of the automotive

courses. Students in grades 9-12 who are cur-

rently enrolled in an automotive course partici-

pate in the car wash, cleaning both the interior

and exterior of customers’ automobiles. “Our

car wash was again a huge success,” Mr. Baker

commented. This is the fourth year Mr. Baker

has held the car wash fundraiser.

STUDENTS ENJOY GOOD FOOD WHILE LEARNING ABOUT DISABILITIES

Students at Jo Byrns High school were

given a first-hand experience of living

and caring for those with a disability

through CTE classes. JBHS’s Reha-

bilitation Careers class and Nutrition

Across the Lifespan class joined to-

gether in April to provide students

with this unique experience. The nutri-

tion class cooked a delicious breakfast

of sausage, bacon, biscuits, hash

browns, and eggs. While breakfast was

being prepared, each student in both

classes were assigned either a disabil-

ity or the role of a therapist treating a patient. Students were given impairments such as: loss of

the use of a limb(s), unable to

speak, blindness, memory im-

pairment, social anxiety, and

swallowing difficulties. Those

students who received the role

of a caregiver were assigned

as physical therapist, occupa-

tional therapist, or speech

therapist. Once the students

had gotten into character they

were given the task of having

to eat their meal with their

impairment or caring for those

with impairments. Some stu-

dents had to be fed, others had

to have their plates fixed for

them and assisted, some could not remember how to eat, and these were just a few of the diffi-

culties they faced. It allowed the students to be truly empathetic with those that they role played

as and gave them a first-hand encounter with the difficulties a single impairment can make on

everyday life. Rehabilitation Careers is taught by Ashley Corbin and Nutrition Across the Life-

span is taught by Jill Ashworth. (by Ashley Corbin)

STUDENTS TOUR MUSIC CITY CENTRAL WITH CHEF KNOEPFUL

TOP CHAPTER IN THE RED RIVER DISTRICT

The Middle Tennessee regional FFA Banquet was

held on Tuesday, April 26th. White House Heri-

tage FFA were well represented: Brian Wilson, 1st

place Middle Tennessee in the Agricultural Me-

chanics Repair and Maintenance Proficiency area,

Maranda Hulsey, 1st place in the Equine Science

Placement proficiency area, and Kat Gaddis, 1st

place in the Landscape Management proficiency

area. The chapter was also named as the top chap-

ter in the Red River District which consists of the

schools in Robertson County and Montgomery

County. This award is given to the chapter who accumulates the most points for participating in

numerous events and activities throughout the year. Pictured are chapter members Brian Wil-

son, Caitlyn Dryden, Calae Jackson, Maranda Hulsey, and Kat Gaddis (by Michelle Page)

Jo Byrns High School’s FCCLA members recently had the opportunity to tour the Music City

Center in Nashville as the guests of executive chef, Max Knoepful. Students were treated to

tours of the kitchens, supply rooms, tasting room and grand ball room as well as other areas of

the center that aren’t open to the public. Chef Knoepful explained many things to the students

about the center’s “green” policies, how they are able to feed so many people in a timely man-

ner and how they have gardens and keep bees on the roof. Students were also introduced to

several chefs, the purchaser, and director of human resources. (by Jill Ashworth)

DIGITAL JACKETS-AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK

The month of April was Autism Awareness month. What does that mean? It means an extra ef-

fort is made to help educate people about what Autism Spectrum Disorder is and how it affects

those who are living on the spectrum.

The Digital Jackets joined that endeavor by creating a school-wide Autism Awareness week.

Monday and Tuesday videos that featured teens discussing their experience living on the spec-

trum were distributed to teachers to share with their classes. Wednesday a Hat Day fundraiser

brought in money to be donated to Autism education and research. Thursday students were en-

couraged to wear the color blue to encourage conversations, of which the two best dressed were

awarded $20 Carmike gift cards. All of it was culminated with Springfield hosting the program

director of Autism Tennessee, Lisa Cloud, for an educational assembly. (By Danielle Richards)

MOCK CRASH

The juniors and seniors from WHHHS observed a mock crash take place from the police arriv-

ing, to the hearse taking the dead bodies away, to the arrival and departure of Life Flight. This

is an annual event to promote safe driving.

Our Health Science class

is studying the skeletal

system. The students

pair up and tape each

others various skeletal

bones. This fun activity

is an opportunity to

show your knowledge

and compete for prizes.

The Health Science class at WHHHS had guest speakers from local Robertson County EMS.

The students were able to view the inside of the Ambulance and learned about the typical day in

the life of an EMS technician.

HOSA STATE CONFERENCE AT OPRYLAND HOTEL

penings group placed in the Nationals at

the State HOSA conference at Opryland

Hotel. The Community Awareness

group placed 4th. A great time was had

by all!

DIGESTIVE CHEMISTRY ACID TEST

HOW TO DRESS A WOUND

BODY ANATOMY

Our Medical Therapeutics class has been

studying the Digestive System. Our class

did a Digestive Chemistry Acid Test

where students place their tongues in

open soda. The sensation becomes pain-

ful because of the acids. They learned

that acid is needed to digest our food.

The Health and Science

classes at WHHHS painted

body organs on the win-

dows of the school for

decoration and the other

students that pass by seem

to really enjoy the view.

We have been very busy

this month in our Health

Science Classes at

WHHHS. One of the pro-

jects we have been work-

ing on is fake wounds

and how to clean and

dress them properly.

BURGER BASH!

Nutrition Across the Lifespan class had a "Burger Bash" cook off. The challenge was to create

a burger using any meat other than beef, and to use unique flavor profiles. The students created

their own recipes. Teachers served as our judges. The burger recipes were: Maui Sliders, (with

pork, pineapple and homemade teriyaki sauce) Caprese Burger (with basil, mozzarella, and to-

matoes), and Sweet Home Avocado (with southwestern seasoning and homemade cucumber

avocado salsa). (By Ashley Bogle)
