The Advanced IB Biology class spent the last two days dissecting chicken wings to gain a deeper understanding of muscles and joints. As part of the curriculum, students are expected to learn about the mechanics of muscles and how they move with the joint. Each student received their own wing! Some were experienced in the kitchen and were very comfortable with the task at hand while others had never touched a chicken wing that was not cooked or flavoured. Lots of learning took place in terms of skills - for instance using a scalpel - as well as knowledge; students learned exactly how the biceps move to contact the elbow. It was a very good start to the academic year here in the SJHS Biology Department!

We will have lunch provided and lots of activities for you throughout the day. Only new students to the building need to attend.

SJHS would like to congratulate Erin Vringer and Ryan Galbraith, both are 2022 graduates of SJHS and are off to university in the US.

We were fortunate to be able to share Erin's story.

I'm going to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on a full athletic scholarship in the fall! The scholarship is valued at over 200 000 USD. I am taking health sciences and will be a part of their women's cross country team and track and field team. The University of Utah is a division 1 school and a part of the Pac 12 Conference, one of the most competitive conferences in the country. Last year the University of Utah team finished 20th in the NCAA Division 1 National Cross Country Championships. I visited in the fall and could feel the school was the right fit for me. The team environment was super positive, I really liked the coaching staff, and the campus was beautiful. I'm a really outdoorsy person and the city is surrounded with lots of beautiful mountains and hiking trails. I hope to take advantage of this in my free time! I'm so excited I leave mid August to join the team for training camp! Very thankful for my coaches, family, and friends for always supporting me and helping me follow my dreams.

Ryan is off to Chicago to play at South Suburban college, a Division 1, National Junior College.

We wish them both the best of luck!
