Mr. Doehrmann's junior English classes recently finished reading Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, a novel of historical fiction detailing not only the physical things that soldiers carried with them into the Vietnam War, but the emotional things they carried as well. Students then used this as a launching point to interview local veterans and write fictionalized stories. The entire project culminated with a breakfast, catered by Columbia City's FCCLA, where students got to sit and visit with the veterans they interviewed and share their stories. #WCCS #Veterans #EaglePRIDE [Staff submitted]

Mrs. Curry's American Sign Language (ASL) 3 class of juniors and seniors visited Locked Up an Escape Room Experience in Fort Wayne. They completed the escape room using only sign language and gestures. Only one group escaped but we had a really fun time and were able to use the skills/signs that had been learned during 3 years. We also had sponsors for the trip Armstrong Storage, Coyote IT, Richmond Construction and Clifford's Custom Collision. #ASL #WCCSExperience [Staff submitted post]

The CCMA students visited all four of our elementary schools to do a teddy bear clinic with all kindergartners. The kindergartners visited 10 different stations including registration where students got to name their bear and get a wristband put on their bear. Then was height and weight here their bear was measured and weighed. They moved to vital signs where we checked the bear's temperature, blood pressure, and students got to "hear" their bear's heartbeat by putting on a stethoscope and the CCMA students tapped on it to simulate a heartbeat. They then moved to surgery where we removed the "bearpendix" from their bear. The kindergartners then moved on to having their bear's ears, and eyes checked. The bears had x-rays taken and students were given an x-ray of their teddy bear. Finally, they moved to dental where they learned about brushing their teeth, and received a toothbrush, toothpaste, timer, and coloring book. Students learned about vaccinations and got to "give" their bear a shot. Lastly, they went to a bandaging station where we wrapped their bear's arm up to help stop the bleeding from the shot. This was all done to help teach kids that going to the doctor, the hospital, and the dentist doesn't need to be a scary experience. It was also to help teach the CCMA students how to communicate and teach children about different health situations in which they may work once they graduate from our CTE program. #CTE #WCCSExperience [Staff submitted post]
