Mundorf’s sophomore English class played a literary device Pin-the-Tail on the Pig game using quotes from Lord of the Flies. One person wore the blindfold, and the rest had to practice their leadership skills by giving directions. One group dominated the island! 🏝️ 🐷 🪰
Students from the Marion High School TAP program visited Winslow House to provide manicures for residents while practicing essential small talk and customer service skills. This hands-on experience allowed students to gain professional insight into careers in cosmetology, healthcare, and other people-oriented fields. It's safe to say, the students nailed it!
