Forensics Students Study Crime Scenes

with Roswell Police

 

 

Students from Ms. Prelac’s forensic science class visited the Roswell Police Department today.  Officers Bringle and Kowalske set up four different crime scenes for the students to learn how the police handle a crime scene. A CSI technician explained how police work and forensics in real life differs from television.  Students learned about finger printing, blood spatter, vehicular homicide, and bullet trajectory by examining evidence modeled after real cases.

 

LEO Club Contributes 600 Stuffed Animals to EMTs

 

Our newly formed Centennial LEOs Club, affiliated with the Roswell Lions’ Club, made their official donation of 600 stuffed animals to Roswell EMTs this morning.  Roswell EMTs take two or three stuffed animals with them on every run, just in case a child is involved in the incident to which they are responding.  The stuffed animals both soothe and distract children who have been injured or have witnessed injury.  One of the EMTs expressed her gratitude saying they encounter a child daily who is in need of the gift.

 

Two Roswell Kohl’s stores and one Milton Kohl’s store have agreed to donate 500 more stuffed animals to the cause throughout the rest of the year. The donation from the CHS LEOs will be in the Neighbor newspapers next Wednesday.

 LEO Club members present for the donation:   Jacob Schadd, Ahmad Perryman, Vianney Avilla, and Ian MacDonald.

Olivia McDonnold and Mira Shah, seniors at Centennial High School, have been nominated for the 2016 Georgia Student of the Year award by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Poised to raise $30,000, the girls are two of only 15 students/teams accepted into the fundraising campaign which stretches over six weeks, beginning on January 14th and ending on February 26th.

The Student of the Year campaign is a wonderful opportunity for local area high school students who are enthusiastic about volunteerism, philanthropy, community outreach, and developing leadership skills to participate in the fight against blood cancers.

The Student of the Year will receive a $5,000 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice. The Citizenship Award winner will receive a $500 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice. Every candidate who reaches the minimum fundraising requirement of $10,000 will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

The girls have planned several fundraising events at Centennial. If you would like to donate, here is the link to their website: http://events.lls.org/pages/ga/soyga2016/OliviaMira
