On day 2 of Mincey's Marketing Mixer, students learned the importance of BUDGETING. Huge thank you to Mrs. Taylor Johnson for her fantastic financial expertise and bringing her real life budgeting simulator, "The Fab Life".

Here are a few of our favorite quotes of the day:
"I'm gonna go home and hug my mama!"
"Can I put the kids up for adoption?"
"I didn't even have any kids and that made me want to pull my hair out!"

Mrs. Greene's Information Technology students experienced the difficulty of reading instructions written with only 1's and 0's also known as binary code.

Mrs. Alison Wade's Engineering II class enjoyed a MSDS activity outside supplemented with a little robot action.
