While preparing for the Wyoming High School Activities Association State Marching Festival, RSHS Marching Band Members Esther Bae, Xenia Crosby, Rachel Goff, Kadence Grover and Maddie Pugmire made cards for each of the twenty other bands performing at the festival, had their fellow band members sign each card with a note of congratulations or good luck, and then hand delivered the cards to each band’s director while at the festival. This unique demonstration of sportsmanship was well received by the other bands, and is an outstanding example of the characteristics we strive to teach our students at Rock Springs High School.

Through a newly created partnership between the Rock Springs High School Health Academy seniors and Sage View Care Center, the gift of music as a form of entertainment and comfort will introduce the Health Academy to be more aware of the elderly community in terms of the healthcare field. The initial funding of the program will be provided by Debbie Callas of the Wesswick Foundation. All necessary equipment, such as the amazon tablets, headphones, CD player and music will be purchased by the Foundation. Fundraising efforts for additional equipment, amazon card donations and CD’s will be performed by the students, when necessary, throughout the school year for community service opportunities. An account has been set up through the Sweetwater One Public School Foundation in order to collect the funding through the Wesswick Foundation. Students within the Health Academy will get hands on experience handling dementia and Alzheimer’s patients along with other problems the healthcare field faces in nursing homes everywhere. Taking care of the wants and needs associated with these patients will build strong and important relationships between student and patient. A current resident at Sage View is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease so severely, she can no long form sentences or feed herself. During an engaging activity at Sage View, this resident was sitting next to a CD player that had classical Elvis Presley playing. Astonishingly, this resident started to hum and eventually sang every word. “Music heals the soul”, is a term our group is bringing into reality for people who are not necessarily a part of reality at times. To give these residents the joy of taking a step back in their life is a beautiful way for the Health Academy to bring a smile to these people’s faces. The employees of Sage View have commented on how excited they are to get the opportunity to work with the students and to be able to mentor them as they prepare for their careers in the healthcare field. The Music Appreciation Program will certainly be a memorable experience during their time at Sage View. With the guidance of their instructors Bruce Metz and Rick Mitchelson, and the initial funding from the Wesswick Foundation and Debbie Callas, this program will be implemented and maintained by the following Health Academy seniors: Jennifer Gomez, Shelynd Halls, Kyla Henry, Harlie Nance and Lisa Sullivan.
