Holt Middle School students in Mr. Allred’s class took their temperature, pulse, and blood pressure in their first Medical Detectives lab. Students are learning how to measure and interpret vital signs, and how the systems of the human body work together to maintain health.

Holt Middle School held its annual Financial Literacy Day today where students learned about real life! Fifth and sixth-grade students randomly selected a family and a job and learned how to write checks and create a budget. Students dressed up as their career and roamed from booth to booth making decisions about how to spend their money. Booths included housing, transportation, food, child care, and much more. Close to 80 parents and community volunteers were at Holt on Wednesday to help students with these decisions.
A big thank you to Lauren Wilson and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. who collaborated with math teacher Tammy Toomey and brought a semi-truck and driver for the students to explore as well as several employees to work with Holt students. What an eye-opening experience!

FPS Child Nutrition staff enjoyed hands-on professional development with chef Kent Getzin. Chef Getzin joins us from Chelan, Washington, thanks to a generous grant funded and supported by the Lifetime Foundation.
The Child Nutrition staff was instructed to create original recipes after learning about the fundamentals of taste physiology and flavor development. Food was then prepared by staff using the new recipes, and staff members all sampled the food in a taste test. Recipes approved by the staff will be used throughout the district in our lunch program!
