Honors Biology
Honors biology students used several tests to identify macromolecules. Using what they learned, they had to test the “stomach contents” of an individual and determine which restaurant was the location of their most recent meal. Honors anatomy students dissected brains, sampled canned pork brains (yum…), and charted parts of the brain in preparation for the final test of the quarter.
Interact Club
CA’s Interact Club sponsored a toy drive to support the USO’s Great Gift Giveaway. The drive was a huge success and the club officers presented the toys and a donation to USO reps Pamela Holz and Kari Moore last Friday. The USO’s annual event will provide Christmas gifts for more than 350 children of active service members stationed at Fort Campbell.
Key Club
The CA Key Club dropped of donations to the Ronald McDonald House over Christmas break. Pictured with Shelby & Ben Moore is Sadie the Therapy Dog.
