We invite all community members to come out and help donate life.

💡 Blood Donation Fun Fact:
The Kentucky Blood Center (KBC) aims for 400 pints of blood every day, and one pint can save up to three lives. Platelets—vital for cancer patients and accident victims—have a short shelf life and are always in demand.

Cow Eyeball Dissection at ATC
Last Thursday, Eric Collins and Deborah Dunaway from the Lee County UK Extension Office partnered with Mrs. Kelley's Body Structures and Functions class to provide a hands-on cow eyeball dissection. Students explored the anatomy of the eye and carefully dissected its different parts.
To make the day even more memorable, Deborah treated everyone to a fun “eyeball” snack made from grapes. We are grateful for their support of our students and for creating such a unique and engaging learning experience!
