AP Physics 1 students have been studying fluids for their final unit this year. Students in Mrs. Atkinson’s class were challenged to apply their knowledge of fluid forces, buoyancy, and density to design and build a “boat” that could hold a 1kg mass for at least 30 seconds without sinking or taking on water. They were limited to using only basic household items and had a budget of $10 per group. Students did an amazing job with this project, not only having fun but also showing off all they have learned about physics!

Monday through Wednesday of this week, AHS student Dani Thomason had the opportunity to shadow nurses in the Emergency Department, NICU, and the Infant and Toddler Unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. She spent a full 12-hour shift with a different nurse each day, gaining first-hand insight into the unique pace and demands of each unit. This immersive experience helped her explore the various specialties in pediatric nursing and narrow down her future career path. During her time there, Dani also learned about programs offered through the hospital, including the Student Nurse Intern program and additional job shadowing opportunities for nursing students. Following her experience, Dani shared, "It was a great opportunity, and I was able to learn a lot from this experience. I enjoyed my time at the Children's Hospital and getting to interact with the nurses and patients there. It made me confident and certain in my career choice of nursing."
Mrs. Cloninger has been working with students to provide them with real-world experiences.
