🧬🍭 LEARNING IS SWEET IN SOUTH PANOLA HEALTH SCIENCE! 🍭🧬
Our South Panola Health Science Core students are diving into Body Organization and Cell Anatomy with a fun, hands-on Edible Cell Project!
Instead of simply memorizing cell organelles, students used Mike and Ike’s, pull-apart Twizzlers, Nerds, Skittles, Whoppers, icing, and paper plates to create their own edible models of a cell. 🧫➡️🍬
Through this activity, students had to identify the major cell structures, understand their functions, and creatively represent each organelle using different candies.
🔬 What the candies represented:
🍓 Whoppers – Nucleus
🟢 Mike and Ike’s – Mitochondria
🔴 Pull-Apart Twizzlers – Cell Membrane & Endoplasmic Reticulum & Golgi Apparatus
🍫 Nerds – Ribosomes
image.pngSkittles - Vacuoles
🍰 Icing – Cytoplasm
This project gave students the opportunity to learn by doing, work creatively, collaborate with classmates, and make connections between cell anatomy and the human body.
Because in Health Science, sometimes the best way to remember something is to make it, explain it… and maybe eat it afterward! 😂🍬🧬

🦺 SAFETY STARTS WITH KNOWLEDGE! 🌾🩺
Our SPHS Health Science and Agricultural students had the opportunity to learn from a Farm Bureau Safety Specialist, Benton Moseley, about an important topic that applies to EVERY career—workplace safety!
Students learned about preventing injuries involving machines, tools, instruments, and equipment, as well as the importance of recognizing hazards, following proper procedures, and staying aware of their surroundings.
Our Health Science students were able to connect these lessons to the medical equipment and instruments they will use in healthcare, while our Agriculture students discussed safety related to farm machinery and agricultural equipment.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Farm Bureau for investing in our students and bringing valuable, real-world safety knowledge into our classroom! We appreciate you helping prepare our students for safe and successful careers! 👏💙

An Incredible Visit with Dr. Will Dabbs! 🩺📚🇺🇸
Our SPHS Healthcare & Clinical Services students had the incredible opportunity to hear from Dr. William Dabbs of Oxford, Mississippi, whose life and career are a true example of the many different paths that can lead to success in healthcare and in life.
Dr. Dabbs shared his fascinating journey—from earning an engineering degree, serving in the military, and ultimately deciding to attend medical school. He talked honestly about why he chose medicine and the experiences that shaped his career as a physician.
But his story doesn't stop there! Dr. Dabbs is also a Mississippi author, and he entertained our students with numerous true, fascinating, and sometimes unbelievable stories from his life and career. His stories gave our students a unique glimpse into medicine, the military, and the experiences that have shaped him.
Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Dabbs challenged our students to think beyond their careers and consider the kind of life they want to build. He shared his “5 Truths to Live a Successful Life,” offering wisdom and practical guidance about making good choices, staying healthy, working hard, and becoming the best version of yourself.
❤️ We are so grateful to Dr. Dabbs for taking the time to invest in our students, share his experiences, and remind them that success isn't always a straight path. Sometimes the unexpected turns are what lead us exactly where we are meant to be.
Thank you, Dr. Dabbs, for an unforgettable and inspiring visit!
