Health Class......Cooking Light
 This month, in Jill Baileys Health class, the students learned about nutrition. They learned to read labels. They each were assigned 3 fast food restaurants and found out how much FAT is in a combo meal. Quite a shocker for some. Dr. Andrea Girman spent an afternoon with the students and conducted a super market walk at Atkinsons. They only opened and tasted items that were "healthy". The final week of class Suzanne Cannon, past owner of Chi Chi's and catering manager at the Community Campus, spent the day teaching 4 ways of serving pasta, emphasizing light and healthy. She introduced to the students a French, Greek and Italian Pasta, using all fresh ingredients. Now the students are ready to cook a meal at Home.

Being a cooking class, we constructed our door Decor out of FOOD!!!!!!! We want to extend our thanks to Mrs. Clark's Leadership class for all the votes. With Pride, we accept our Prize of "Most Honorable Mention." Thank You WRMS.

We are the Dragons...
 The students at Silver Creek Alternative School (SCAS) have a
dynamic motto: Own it, fix it, move on!
Our school offers an
innovative and flexible learning environment to a limited number
of students in grades 9 through 12 who don't thrive in a
traditional school setting. Our students must meet at
least three state-mandated "at risk" factors. They are
appropriately referred through Wood River High School, and we
are governed and abide by Blaine County School District
policies.
Our small, dedicated staff focuses on each student's special
gifts and needs. Students receive a lot of individual attention
to master the basics, while being given the opportunity to
explore areas of learning that really appeal to them. Our
student's senior projects are wide-ranging and inspiring.
Many alternative learning experiences are available to SCAS
students. We encourage them to learn and be good citizens.
They are expected to participate in community service projects
such as the Thanksgiving Food Drive, Souper Supper, and
collaborative projects with the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.
Every year we publish a year book, do a major presentation of
senior projects, and hold a graduation ceremony.
We take pride in our students' achievements and invite
you to learn more about our dynamic school.
