3rd Grade Takes Field Trip to Dauphin Island Each 3rd grade class took a field trip to Dauphin Island and chartered a boat. They got to drag a net and when they pulled in the net, the students got to observe many different species of sea animals through a microscope while on the boat. The classes then completed their fun day with a picnic at Cadillac Square.
Pictured are students from Mrs. Puckett’s class observing the catch.

One of the live auction items at Puttin’ on the Dawg this year was an ice cream party with Mr. Barber for the winning girls’ and boys’ advisory. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Laurence, Coach Ellisor’s Advisory won for the boys, and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. McIlwain, Mrs. Smilie’s Advisory won for the girls. Both advisories were treated to an ice cream party in the Amphitheater at school on April 20th.
Cryotherapy Cold Air Device on Loan to UMS-Wright Trainers Cryotherapy is a fancy word for “super-icing” treatment. The Cryotherapy cold air device uses short duration therapy with temperatures derived from refrigerated forced air rather than lengthy applications of traditional ice treatments. The dry, colder temperature (which range from -25 to -75 degrees F) helps sustain reduced muscle temperature without compromising the skin through lengthy exposure and allows the skin temperature to return to normal while deeper tissue and muscle temperatures remain cold for improved results. Cold air therapy can reduce the skin temperature 32 degrees F in 15-20 seconds versus the traditional ice pack which takes 15-20 minutes to get to just the mid 50 degrees F range. The entire treatment duration with the Cryotherapy device is between 1-2 minutes but has a lasting effect comparable to other treatments beyond 1 hour post treatment. For more information regarding this type of injury treatment, please contact Stacy Harrelson at 470-9058.
NAIS Super Schools Day Program The University of Mobile men’s tennis team, participated in the NAIA National Men’s and Women’s tournament, and they took part in the NAIA Super Schools Day Program.
