HOSA STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Page 1
Jo Byrns High School HOSA attended the state Leadership Conference in March. Students
were involved in various competitions as well as courtesy corp, where they were given the op-
portunity to assist in management of the competitions.
MeLeigha Hester, a sophomore at JBHS, placed first in the state in Researched Persuasive
Speaking after delivering a powerful speech on the topic of minor
autonomy in healthcare. MeLeigha will
advance to the international competi-
tion in June as a representative of
JBHS, Robertson County, and the State
of Tennessee. JBHS is excited about
where HOSA is taking them in the first
year of its presence in the school. (by

Springfield High School
Future Business Leaders
of America (FBLA) re-
cently attended the State
FBLA Conference in
Chattanooga. With over
2000 people in atten-
dance, three SHS stu-
dents won state awards.
Anighya Crocker won
1st place in Impromptu
Speaking after two
rounds of competi-
tion. With this competi-
tion, he was given a
topic and then 10 min-
utes to prepare his
speech and then present.
Lizbeth Martinez won 4th place in Insurance Risk and Management. This was an objective test.
Logan Binkley won 5th place in Economics
which is also an objective test.
Both Anighya and Lizbeth automatically ad-
vance to National FBLA competition this
summer in Atlanta, Georgia since the top four
automatically advance. If any of the top four
can not attend then Logan and some other
SHS students who placed in the top ten could
move up to compete.
We are super proud of all of the Springfield
FBLA students who represented both SHS
and Robertson County well at State. We wish
them luck at National FBLA Competition. (by

US ARMY RECRUITERS DISCUSS NUTRITION AND MREs
Page 3
The Nutrition Science and Diet Therapy class at JBHS recently had a visit from Staff Sgt. Fuller
and Staff Sgt. Bornstein of the U.S. Army. Fuller and Bornstein are recruiters, but they put re-
cruiting aside for the day and talked to the class about MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) and nutri-
tion. Students learned why soldiers are issued MREs and about the nutritional value of MREs.
Although the students had many questions about the nutritional values of MREs, the most fre-
quently asked questions were “What is your favorite?” and “What do they taste like?” Luckily,
the latter question was answered when MREs were passed out and students were allowed to
sample any of the items they desired. Most of the students were surprised about the variety and
taste of the food.
Staff Sgt. Bornstein talked to the students about MyPlate.gov and how that relates to nutrition
in the Army and also asked students about what changes they would make to MREs. It was an
extremely informative and fun lesson for the students. (by Jill Ashworth)
BI-ANNUAL CAR WASH A BIG SUCCESS
ERHS HELPS PREPARE THE COMMUNITY GARDEN AT THE YMCA
Page 4
East Robertson FFA left Wednesday April 20th 2016 to help prepare the Community
Garden at the local YMCA for the incoming Robertson County School district students.
These students will learn about Agriculture, planting a garden, and they will also get to eat what
they grow. This garden encompasses everything FFA stands for, Learning to Do, Doing to
Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve. The East Robertson FFA members were happy to
get the raised garden beds ready for the incoming students to plant. In addition, the East Robert-
son FFA chapter will be donating some vegetables out of their greenhouse for the students. We
would like to thank the YMCA for allowing us to come out and help with the garden! (by Will
Elliott)
Students in Mr.
Trey Baker’s
automotive class
spent the week of
April 25th wash-
ing cars for both
faculty and staff
at Springfield High School. The automotive classes sponsor the car wash bi-annually–once in
the fall, and once in the spring–with proceeds
going to the general needs of the automotive
courses. Students in grades 9-12 who are cur-
rently enrolled in an automotive course partici-
pate in the car wash, cleaning both the interior
and exterior of customers’ automobiles. “Our
car wash was again a huge success,” Mr. Baker
commented. This is the fourth year Mr. Baker
has held the car wash fundraiser.
STUDENTS ENJOY GOOD FOOD WHILE LEARNING ABOUT DISABILITIES
Page 5
Students at Jo Byrns High school were
given a first-hand experience of living
and caring for those with a disability
through CTE classes. JBHS’s Reha-
bilitation Careers class and Nutrition
Across the Lifespan class joined to-
gether in April to provide students
with this unique experience. The nutri-
tion class cooked a delicious breakfast
of sausage, bacon, biscuits, hash
browns, and eggs. While breakfast was
being prepared, each student in both
classes were assigned either a disabil-
ity or the role of a therapist treating a patient. Students were given impairments such as: loss of
the use of a limb(s), unable to
speak, blindness, memory im-
pairment, social anxiety, and
swallowing difficulties. Those
students who received the role
of a caregiver were assigned
as physical therapist, occupa-
tional therapist, or speech
therapist. Once the students
had gotten into character they
were given the task of having
to eat their meal with their
impairment or caring for those
with impairments. Some stu-
dents had to be fed, others had
to have their plates fixed for
them and assisted, some could not remember how to eat, and these were just a few of the diffi-
culties they faced. It allowed the students to be truly empathetic with those that they role played
as and gave them a first-hand encounter with the difficulties a single impairment can make on
everyday life. Rehabilitation Careers is taught by Ashley Corbin and Nutrition Across the Life-
span is taught by Jill Ashworth. (by Ashley Corbin)

TOP CHAPTER IN THE RED RIVER DISTRICT
The Middle Tennessee regional FFA Banquet was
held on Tuesday, April 26th. White House Heri-
tage FFA were well represented: Brian Wilson, 1st
place Middle Tennessee in the Agricultural Me-
chanics Repair and Maintenance Proficiency area,
Maranda Hulsey, 1st place in the Equine Science
Placement proficiency area, and Kat Gaddis, 1st
place in the Landscape Management proficiency
area. The chapter was also named as the top chap-
ter in the Red River District which consists of the
schools in Robertson County and Montgomery
County. This award is given to the chapter who accumulates the most points for participating in
numerous events and activities throughout the year. Pictured are chapter members Brian Wil-
son, Caitlyn Dryden, Calae Jackson, Maranda Hulsey, and Kat Gaddis (by Michelle Page)
Jo Byrns High School’s FCCLA members recently had the opportunity to tour the Music City
Center in Nashville as the guests of executive chef, Max Knoepful. Students were treated to
tours of the kitchens, supply rooms, tasting room and grand ball room as well as other areas of
the center that aren’t open to the public. Chef Knoepful explained many things to the students
about the center’s “green” policies, how they are able to feed so many people in a timely man-
ner and how they have gardens and keep bees on the roof. Students were also introduced to
several chefs, the purchaser, and director of human resources. (by Jill Ashworth)

DIGITAL JACKETS-AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK
The month of April was Autism Awareness month. What does that mean? It means an extra ef-
fort is made to help educate people about what Autism Spectrum Disorder is and how it affects
those who are living on the spectrum.
The Digital Jackets joined that endeavor by creating a school-wide Autism Awareness week.
Monday and Tuesday videos that featured teens discussing their experience living on the spec-
trum were distributed to teachers to share with their classes. Wednesday a Hat Day fundraiser
brought in money to be donated to Autism education and research. Thursday students were en-
couraged to wear the color blue to encourage conversations, of which the two best dressed were
awarded $20 Carmike gift cards. All of it was culminated with Springfield hosting the program
director of Autism Tennessee, Lisa Cloud, for an educational assembly. (By Danielle Richards)

MOCK CRASH
The juniors and seniors from WHHHS observed a mock crash take place from the police arriv-
ing, to the hearse taking the dead bodies away, to the arrival and departure of Life Flight. This
is an annual event to promote safe driving.
Our Health Science class
is studying the skeletal
system. The students
pair up and tape each
others various skeletal
bones. This fun activity
is an opportunity to
show your knowledge
and compete for prizes.
The Health Science class at WHHHS had guest speakers from local Robertson County EMS.
The students were able to view the inside of the Ambulance and learned about the typical day in
the life of an EMS technician.

HOSA STATE CONFERENCE AT OPRYLAND HOTEL
In the month of March the HOSA Hap-
penings group placed in the Nationals at
the State HOSA conference at Opryland
Hotel. The Community Awareness
group placed 4th. A great time was had
by all!
DIGESTIVE CHEMISTRY ACID TEST
HOW TO DRESS A WOUND
BODY ANATOMY
Our Medical Therapeutics class has been
studying the Digestive System. Our class
did a Digestive Chemistry Acid Test
where students place their tongues in
open soda. The sensation becomes pain-
ful because of the acids. They learned
that acid is needed to digest our food.
The Health and Science
classes at WHHHS painted
body organs on the win-
dows of the school for
decoration and the other
students that pass by seem
to really enjoy the view.
We have been very busy
this month in our Health
Science Classes at
WHHHS. One of the pro-
jects we have been work-
ing on is fake wounds
and how to clean and
dress them properly.

BURGER BASH!
Nutrition Across the Lifespan class had a "Burger Bash" cook off. The challenge was to create
a burger using any meat other than beef, and to use unique flavor profiles. The students created
their own recipes. Teachers served as our judges. The burger recipes were: Maui Sliders, (with
pork, pineapple and homemade teriyaki sauce) Caprese Burger (with basil, mozzarella, and to-
matoes), and Sweet Home Avocado (with southwestern seasoning and homemade cucumber
avocado salsa). (By Ashley Bogle)
