Our 4th graders had an unforgettable day in Madison!

They kicked off the morning exploring hands-on science at the University of Wisconsin Geology Museum, sparking curiosity and discovery. Afterward, they enjoyed lunch in the heart of campus at Library Mall, surrounded by hardworking college students.

The day wrapped up with an incredible tour and behind-the-scenes look at the Wisconsin State Capitol, where students dove deep into Wisconsin history and explored the three branches of government in action.

A day full of learning, exploration, and big dreams for the future! 🏛️📚✨

May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month—a time to support patients, advance research, and raise awareness for all types of brain tumors. 💙

Our Advanced Skills Anatomy & Physiology students explored what brain tumors are, studied real medical images, and identified symptoms based on different areas of the brain.

Today, they watched an actual surgical resection removing a brain tumor. Students then read about fluorescent surgery which allows doctors to label tumors with fluorescent tags that will make the tumor 'light up' during surgery to help differentiate healthy tissue from cancerous tissue.

Finally, students 'scrubbed in' to simulate the procedure with gelatin brains, UV flashlights and UV tagged 'tumors'. Students created patient notes for the surgery indicating where the tumor was located, symptoms that suggested a tumor in that specific area of the brain, and if the removal the tumor was successful or if the use of UV light showed more tissue needed to be removed. 🧠
