ANATOMIZE ANALYZE

&

During the nervous system unit, anatomy students dissected sheep brains to analyze real life structures of the brain up close

classes

Carolyn Bossung checks in with her students periodically during the dissection. “I definitely had to help with identifying accessory structures to the brain. For example, the eye structures that were still attached as well as the olfactory bulbs, which move the eyes and help the sheep smell,” Bossung said.

ABOVE Junior Radley Brown works slow and carefully during the dissection. “It’s important to be gentle with the brain to make sure that we don’t cut too deep or too hard

Senior Lucy Covell colored a brain diagram and used her notes to help her with identifying parts during the sheep brain dissection.

ABOVE After removing the outer layer surrounding the brain, students sliced the brain in half to get a closer view of the white and gray matter. This also gave students access to the different lobes.

LEFT Senior Delia Cashman works on removing the outer layer of the brain. “I enjoyed getting a hands on experience and being able to see what a brain actually looks like,” Cashman said.

FUTURE

Junior Annabelle Stinson gains job experience through working at Indian Hills Country Club four afternoons each week as part of career exploration class

Stinson folds a towel for the fitness center. ”There’s a sense of responsibility and independence with [wearing her uniform],” said special education teacher Rachel Kirby. “Her putting on her uniform and getting ready to work helps us get in the right mindset.”

FOR THE classes

Stinson brings a basket of folded towels to the fitness center. “One of the most positive aspects of [the program] is just how the kids can be integrated and successful in society,” IHCC fitness director Ashley Lightle said. “Those tasks are the foundation of the work that needs to be done.”

At the beginning of her shift, Stinson places a towel into the washer. “Her being able to be out in the community... is such an incredible experience for her,” Annabelle’s mom, Stacey Stinson, said. “She enjoys it a lot.”

After her Friday afternoon shift, Stinson walks through the kitchen with her end-of-week treat. The kitchen staff gives her a cinnamon roll and drink if she completes tasks and has a good attitude. “I feel like Indian Hills just loves to celebrate our girls and the hard work they’re doing,” special education teacher Rachel Kirby said.

Removing a towel from the dryer, junior Annabelle Stinson places it into a bin before taking it to the table for folding. Stinson’s favorite part of her job is folding the towels like “hot dogs and hamburgers,” said Stinson. “It is fun.”

LEFT Senior Riley Eck stands with her parents while the sweetheart winners are announced. “I didn’t have any expectations of winning and didn’t really care about the outcome, but being out there in front of all those people in that setting was a lot more stressful than I anticipated,” Eck said. “It’s weird because when im playing basketball on the same court I usually don’t have those nerves.”

BELOW Eck runs through the crowd as her name is announced for the starting lineup. “I honestly didn’t really think about the crowning at all during my game and if didn’t have any effect on how I played,” Eck said.

BELOW Eck quickly puts on makeup after her game to make it to the court on time for the ceremony. The other candidates stayed in the locker room with her to help her get ready. “It was definitely helpful to have other candidates around me to help with my hair, makeup, and checking the time because I was super worried I was running late,” Eck said.

ABOVE Eck smiles for a photo with her friends and other sweetheart candidates after the crowning. “The crowning was super nerve-racking,” Eck said. “But hearing my friends screaming my name from the student section was so calming and just put a smile on my face.”
