Dissecting cow hearts in A&P.
I am a little late posting this as I was waiting to receive results from the competition, but since I don't know that I'm going to get results any time soon, I decided it was time. Rachel Koski attended the State Career Development Conference (CDC) on February 27th and represented our JAG class and KPS so well. She participated in the Employability Skills Competition where she first had to develop a resume and cover letter related to a specific job and then at the CDC she participated in a seven-minute interview with a panel of three interviewers (judges) who asked questions about the "job" she was applying for. She didn't place top three, but came out with confidence and a smile on her face. Good job Rachel!
18 Kimball students were selected to the WTC Honor Band which was held in Hemingford today. These kids worked hard and represented our school exceptionally well. #LonghornPride.
