At this afternoon's pep rally, the SCC Network and Community 1st Credit Union presented Knoxville High School with the 1st ever C1st Race to First trophy that is awarded to the South Central Conference school that acquired the most points in the 22-23 school year in their all-sports competition!!

FCS class Food and Nutrition completed their kitchen math unit on Wednesday with cake 🎂 Students used conversions to divide a recipe down from a pan cake to a mug cake. Students' final part of the test was to make their mug cake with accurate measuring (otherwise, their cake might explode). Comlete with frosting and then clean up. Favorite test of the term. #SayYesToFCS #SoftSkills #EverydayMath
To introduce our unit, students performed tasks mothers do every day. They helped one another put on the pregnancy belly simulator and completed 5 tasks: tie/untie shoes, pick up objects from the floor, carry laundry around the room, step up/down and sit on the floor and get back up. 🤰🏁 #SayYestoFCS
Students completed a science experiment in Foods and Nutrition 1. They looked at the importance of each ingredient and how it affects the outcome of the cookie. We had a control cookie with everything done the way it was supposed to be done. We then had the following variations: Only white sugar, extra flour, only brown sugar, baking powder instead of baking soda, and melted butter instead of softened butter
