The Senior Career/Life Skills class took part in a self-defense class this week and learned some basic escape techniques. Michael (Thayer Central Alum) & Christy Hawkins, who own the Hebron Jiu Jitsu & MMA gym, demonstrated some different escape strategies that people can utilize when they find themselves in scary situations. Students had the ability to partner with another student and learn how to apply these techniques on one another. This was a great learning opportunity for our students! Thank you Michael & Christy!

For our "Team Tuesday" this week the girls basketball team did a "paint and pass." The girls painted for 3 minutes then rotated their canvas to have the next person add to their creation. After 25 minutes of unique ideas, trial and error, and precise details, there were 15 masterpieces that could be hung in an art museum! 😉
