This capstone event allowed students to demonstrate their proficiency and share their learning. It was very apparent that students had come away with a solid grasp of the basic elements of patient care and were excited to apply those competencies to their future career goals. Every student who participated is following through with the CNA certification test! Thank you to the instructor, Laura Edwards, and WCTC for partnering with us to provide this opportunity for students. Watch the Video!

Students learned how to wire and solder, and experimented with the basic principles of construction and aerodynamics. The event was created by Mrs. Olson and facilitated by some amazing community partners and KMHS volunteers. The girls really enjoyed the experience.
