🎬🎤 Lights, Camera, Action at Woodland High! 🎤🎬 Mr. Coley’s Media Tech class took a hands-on approach to filmmaking as they learned how to sync wireless audio with recorded footage! 🎥✨ Students operated a cinema camera, boom mic, and wireless audio equipment while others stepped into the spotlight, acting out scenes from the classic movie The Sandlot! ⚾🎞️ With Mr. Coley coaching behind the lens, students learned how to frame the perfect shot, direct actors, and bring scenes to life. To ensure authenticity, he even pulled up the original clip, guiding students on body posture, dialogue delivery, and acting techniques. 👏🎭 Woodland High’s CTE program is equipping students with real-world media production skills, preparing them for careers in film, broadcasting, and beyond! 🚀💡 #WHSwolverines #CTE #FutureFilmmakers #MediaTech #TheSandlot 🎬

💅✨ Future Nail Techs in the Making! ✨💅 Last week, Mrs. Mixon and her Nail Technology class from the Dorchester County Career & Technology Center visited Woodland Middle School to showcase this amazing CTE program! 🌟 With over 30 years of experience as a licensed cosmetologist and 20 years as a salon owner, Mrs. Mixon has been shaping future professionals at DCCTC for 14 years. Her students—who come from both Dorchester District 4 (DD4) and Dorchester District 2 (DD2)—not only gave middle schoolers fabulous manicures but also shared insights about the class, certification process, and career opportunities available after completing the program. This hands-on experience, facilitated by Dr. Robyn Mixon-Davis, DD4's Transition Specialist (and Mrs. Mixon’s daughter!), was a great recruitment tool and a career pathway discovery opportunity for our students. Dorchester District 4 is committed to highlighting CTE programs that prepare students for real-world careers, and this event was a perfect example of education in action! 👏✨ #DD4CTE #FutureNailTechs #CareerReady #HandsOnLearning

Each month, Ms. Deb’s PIP class explores a new unit from the Pre-K Launch Curriculum by TEACHTOWN. This month, the students are learning about Community Helpers—the jobs they do, the tools they use, and how they serve the community. To make learning meaningful, the class engages in hands-on, play-based activities that bring the lessons to life. Interactive experiences, such as dressing up and role-playing, make learning both fun and relevant for young learners. On Wednesday, February 13, Ms. Deb’s students brought their lessons to life by dressing as community helpers featured in The Food Drive, the book they are currently reading. They also took an "in-school field trip," visiting various staff members to share what they’ve learned about different community roles. Ms. Deb, her assistants, and the students love these engaging activities that make learning an exciting adventure! ​Article by Principal Ruth Mims Photos provided by Mrs. Tracy DeLee
