💼 Health Science II: Building Job-Ready Skills! Our Health Science II students are putting “Job-Seeking Employability Skills” into action! Today, students presented their cover letters to their classmates and received instant peer feedback on both their presentation and written materials. Using the HOSA Competitive Event Guidelines for Job Seeking Skills, students are evaluating their classmates’ cover letters and résumés with the official rubric. Today’s learning went beyond the assignment. Students practiced important employability skills including: • Accepting constructive criticism • Confidence in their abilities • Teamwork • Enthusiasm • Public speaking This is what career preparation looks like—learning how to present yourself professionally, receive feedback, support your peers, and prepare for opportunities beyond the classroom! 🩺📄💼 #HealthScienceII #CTE #HOSA #EmployabilitySkills #CareerReady #HandsOnLearning

❤️ TEAM NIA SPREAD THE RED LOVE! ❤️ Team NIA showed up today! Our students were greeted in RED by some of our talented cheerleaders, bringing energy, smiles, and plenty of NIA spirit!

Destined for Greatness. ❤️ N-I-A! N-I-A! 🦅❤️

⭐ Identify needs within our school community
⭐ Strengthen family and community partnerships
⭐ Improve programs and services
⭐ Plan initiatives that support the whole child

⏰ Please complete the survey by the end of this week. The information collected will help guide discussions at our first Community Schools Advisory Board (SAB) meeting next week.
