Vacancies for the 2024-25 School Year


Mrs. Reiman's Psychology class was delighted to have Melise Oakley with Southern Illinois Hospice visit class today to teach us about dementia and Alzheimer's. The students are currently studying how memory and the brain work in our curriculum. Melise's interactive Dementia Demo helped us understand how our senses, memory, and behavior can change for someone diagnosed with dementia. She also brought her therapy dogs, Millie and Blue, to help us learn about the critical role they can play in dementia care. Thank you, Melise, for your time today!
