👩⚕️🧑⚕️ Hands-on learning in action at Lincoln County School of Technology!
Our Nursing Fundamentals students wrapped up their Infectious Disease Unit with some critical skill practice:
✅ Proper use of PPE (gowns, masks, eyewear, gloves)
✅ Collecting specimens under transmission-based precautions
✅ Safely disposing of equipment to prevent contamination
To put their training to the test, students even practiced removing “contaminated” gloves (with a little help from some chocolate pudding 💩🍫) — all without cross-contamination.
These real-world experiences prepare our future healthcare professionals to keep patients safe while building confidence in their skills. 👏

📜 Happy Constitution Day!📜
Today we honor the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787 — a document that laid the foundation for our democracy and continues to shape the freedoms we enjoy today.
In classrooms across our district, students are learning about the Constitution’s lasting impact, the importance of civic responsibility, and how “We the People” have the power to keep our democracy strong.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities that unite us all. 💙❤️

💡 Flashback Friday 💡
This week we’re highlighting another former LCS student who is now making an impact as an LCS staff member!
Meet Mrs. Kristen Walker Dickson — once a student at Catawba Springs, East Lincoln Middle, and East Lincoln High, and now a dedicated teacher at North Lincoln Middle. Kristen says she has so many fond memories from her time as a student, especially the joy of friends, recess, and fun-filled school days that made her happy to come to school.
She chose to return to Lincoln County Schools because it’s home. “This community poured into me and I want to do the same for our students. I love that I have the opportunity to build relationships with students every day. It is meaningful to be consistent and present in their lives and I want to help create that experience for my students.”
