In Mrs.Rashid's Biological Science Applications in Agriculture (BSAA)-Animals class, students got the opportunity to dissect a sheep's eye. This was a culminating activity that brought closure to the Nervous System Structures of Animals Unit. Did you know that the sheep's eye is very similar to the human eye? Students learned that the eye sends electromagnetic vibrations of light into patterns of nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain from the optic nerve.
No PATT meeting tonight.

Fantastic ball game on Goose Island tonight! The Geese fell to a much taller Morrison team, 49-56 but the score doesn't completely show effort and heart! Rashid rose up and led the Geese with 15 points, Sauer had 14, Hornback 7 & Keane 6. Lots of fun when you play that hard!
