Last week, Business Information Management (BIM) teacher Mr. Monsivais and his class led a cross-curricular activity with Ms. Barrientos’ Principles of Health Science and Mr. Ochoa’s AVID 1 classes. The BIM students created a database where they collected data from each student. This activity helped our BIM students gain Microsoft Excel skills and help our Health Science and AVID students make important college and career choices.
Thank you to our amazing teachers for leading and implementing this great activity!
