JM Forensic Science Scholars had a blast on their final project! The goal was to create a diorama presenting a crime scene with 3D imagery, a crime scene sketch (with measurements, not to scale), and a summary of the suspects and evidence linking them to the crime scene. The attention to detail and creativity was high in these last few weeks of school. Enjoy your summer break, JM scholars, and see you next school year! #ForensicScience #CrimeScene #StudentProjects #CreativeMinds #SummerBreak #JMScholars

Find the Good in Every Day!
Positive thinking can have many impacts on your mental health. Research shows that when we focus on the good, we are able to better cope with everyday challenges. Take a few minutes each day next week to focus on the positive.
Monday- Make a list of 5 things you are grateful for today.
Tuesday- Practice positive self-talk.
Wednesday- Start a conversation about mental health. Need an example of where to start, ask your family "Has anything happened recently that made you feel happy, sad, or worried?"
Thursday- Drink some water! Our bodies are made up mostly of water and it is vital to keep us hydrated and healthy.
Friday- Take a break from screens (cell phones, computers, TV's, etc.). Enjoy fresh air or play a game as a family!
