Lifer's Forensic Class wrapped up the arson unit by burning houses. Students built houses, created a backstory, and caught the houses on fire. We looked at burn patterns, discussed how things burned, what burned faster, and what melted instead of burnt. Students then got to put the fires out. Students will continue the investigation by questioning the "homeowners" and writing complete arson reports.

From caring for bumps and bruises to providing comfort and support, she is a vital part of our school family. 💙 Thank you, Nurse Eiting, for your compassion, dedication, and the countless ways you keep our building running strong.
