Congratulations to Claire Mayo for winning the Girls Division of the Frenship Fallout held Tuesday at the Meadowbrook Canyon Golf Course in Lubbock. Not only did Claire win the girls' championship, she also claimed the Longest Drive Award. There was just one Longest Drive Award handed out at the tournament, which means Claire not only beat the other girl golfers, she also beat all the boy golfers as well!!

Tuesday in Mrs. Birbeck's CNA class the students conducted a hands-on experiment to visually demonstrate how germs can spread through person-to-person contact and the importance of proper hand hygiene. To simulate the presence of germs, glitter and glitter glue were used. A few students applied the glitter to their hands and then interacted with their classmates by shaking hands or giving high fives. This allowed the class to observe how quickly and easily "germs" can be transferred from one person to another through casual contact.
Following the demonstration, students were instructed to wash their hands using proper handwashing techniques as taught in class. Once everyone had completed the handwashing process, we examined their hands to determine how much of the glitter remained. This provided a clear and impactful visual on the effectiveness of thorough hand hygiene, reinforcing the importance of proper technique in infection control.
