The FBLA club, and other students from Mr. Spainhower's classes, at MMHS have had a busy couple weeks and we wanted to share! Last Friday night they teamed up with Nebo Credit Union to assist them in their "Warm the Soles" program. Our students helped wrap over 900 pairs of Christmas shoes that Nebo CU purchased for deserving students in our district. It was such a wonderful event and our students loved supporting such a great cause!
Nebo CTE At-A-Glance shows the impact CTE programs have with students. Students who take CTE courses are better prepared to for college, career, and life.
My name is Steven Jeffery, I am interning with Spanish Fork EMS. One day in September we loaded the fire trucks with water and food to take up to the firefighters working on the canyon fires. I have learned to do ambulance checks and restock them with what supplies they need. I have also gone on two car accident calls. I helped run vitals and assisted them with what was needed. I attend their morning checks and have talked to them about many aspects of emergency medicine.
Rebecca Powell- When I started my internship at West Mtn Veterinary Hospital, I had to ask where everything was and what it looked like. After two months I am much more comfortable. Techs will quiz me on things during our down time and I know more than some of the others now, and I am teaching them! I’ve been able to help flush out bladder stones and observe spays, neuters and dew claws. I love my internship and don’t want it to end!
