On Friday, our middle school students had an exciting opportunity to dive into real-life science with the ladies of Junior Auxiliary, who visited to lead a pig heart and lung dissection!

This hands-on experience helped students explore the body systems they’ve been studying in class. Seeing how the heart and lungs work together to keep the body functioning was an unforgettable way to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

A huge thank you to the Junior Auxiliary for bringing science to life for our students!
