Sullivan High School

Exploring Child Development in Intro to FCS! 🧸 From infant care to preschool activities, students in Intro to FCS had the opportunity to explore the exciting world of Child Development! Through hands-on activities and lessons, students gained a glimpse into careers and opportunities within this pathway. Units like these allow students to discover the many possibilities available through the FCS program, helping them explore courses they may want to take during their high school years and even consider future career opportunities!

🏡 Creativity meets design in Interior Design! Our Interior Design students have been working hard to explore all aspects of housing—from the history of homes and career opportunities to floor plan designs and home décor. These talented and inspiring designers put their creativity to work with a hands-on home décor project, designing and creating unique coasters that reflect their individual styles and personalities. Each project showcases their creativity, imagination, and growing design skills!🎨✨

Our Intro to FCS students have had a busy and exciting semester exploring the many pathways within Family and Consumer Sciences! From interior design and financial literacy to money management, communication, and careers, students have had the opportunity to experience a variety of topics and discover what each pathway has to offer. Exploring these areas helps students make informed decisions as they plan their high school courses and consider future opportunities. We love seeing students discover new interests and possibilities through FCS!

Today, our FCS classes were fortunate to welcome Meagan Modrusic, Nutrition Educator with the St. Louis District Dairy Council, for an engaging and hands-on lesson all about cheese! 🧀 Students learned about the history of cheese, the process of making it, its nutritional benefits, and so much more. For many students, the highlight of the visit was getting to sample and taste different cheeses! We are so grateful to Meagan and the St. Louis District Dairy Council for taking the time to visit and provide our students with this fun, educational, hands-on experience. There’s nothing quite like learning from the experts! ❤️

Congratulations to Bryson Beckwith for being selected this week to the ILMEA All-District Junior Band! Bryson will be joining classmates Olivia Swinford and Zachary Kenworthy as a part of this honor band.

SHS students in our Human Anatomy and Physiology and AP Biology courses had the opportunity to observe a live open heart surgery today! Live From the Heart is a program through the Museum of Science and Industry and the Advocate Christ Medical Center in Chicago. The live surgery through Zoom gives our students a chance to observe and learn about the surgical procedures and all the different medical personnel's roles and careers involved in this medical field! We are very glad our students had the opportunity to be involved with this program again this school year!
