Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Myatt’s first-year Health Science students took their Infection Awareness & Prevention unit beyond the textbook this week! Students swabbed a variety of surfaces around campus—from doorknobs and desks to water fountains and keyboards—to test for bacteria growth.
Over the next several days, they’ll observe and record their results, learning how bacteria spreads in everyday environments and why proper hygiene and sanitation practices are so important in healthcare.
