Cumberland High School

During National Passenger Safety Week, S.A.D.D. wants to remind you that it’s okay to speak up. Don’t worry about being a “back-seat driver” when it comes to saving lives.

If a driver is distracted, speeding, or not wearing a seat belt, saying something could make all the difference. Looking out for one another helps keep everyone safe—every ride, every time.

Cumberland High School Art Club hosted its first Ceramics Workshop. Cumberland staff were invited to make charcuterie boards or chip and dip bowls and learn to throw on the wheel. The first class was a major success with a full house and a lot of great projects!

Gabby and Khloe spoke with students yesterday about their experiences in the Health Occupations class. Students interested in careers in the health field had the opportunity to attend, listen to their presentation, and ask questions. Gabby and Khloe shared how much they have enjoyed the class and the valuable experiences it has provided.

Mrs. Lee's Community Living class went to the Greenup IGA for their final. Students practiced finding items and comparing prices, and then they shopped for and purchased items from a list. They even had time to apply what they learned by practicing skills at the ATM. It was a great real-world learning experience!

Last week, the Spanish Club put their language skills and hearts into action! Students visited Cumberland Rehabilitation, Casey Health Care Center, and Heartland Nursing and Rehab.

That afternoon, students made an Ojo de Dios. ¡Qué día tan especial!
