On Oct. 14, Methodist Medical Center donated a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to Clinton Middle College and Career Academy.
The AED is a medical device that can save a person from cardiac arrest. This medical tool has saved two children in Anderson County in recent years.
This helpful device makes the students feel important and safe. It is important to get a new one every 10 years.
One student told us, “I am glad to know there is an AED. in case there is ever a need for one.”
Students at CMCCA are glad to know that they are safe in any type of cardiac emergency.
Art students brighten up Clinton Middle hallways
by Ethan Graham, Andelynn Lawson, and Braylon Taylor
Mr. Richardson’s Art classes represent another creative edge to our Related Arts program. The projects that these students create are truly unique.
One of the projects they are working on is painting and designing ceiling tiles around the school for some decorations and life in the classrooms. Another thing they are working on to make the school more decorative is the monthly hall art.
The monthly hall art features work created by sixth, seventh and eighth grades to be displayed in their hallways in the school. It really adds something unique to Clinton Middle School.
Students from the class put their best efforts into making really great artwork to get judged and see who has the most eye-catching art.
Aside from the students, Mr. Richardson is really excited for the future experiments and the potential of the program and how far it can go.
Until next week...
