Walking students through an in-class rat dissection lab, Anatomy and Physiology teacher Tyler Terry helps them connect rat anatomy to a human’s. Terry also teaches Medical Microbiology, Practicum in Health Science: Pharmacy Technician and is the HOSA sponsor. He expects district-proposed budget cuts to negatively impact class sizes in the coming school years. “It’s going to be a real challenge to try to reduce the number of teachers and squeeze the same number of students into fewer classes,” Terry said. “Classroom management is going to become more difficult for teachers, and students are probably going to feel even more cramped. It’s really hard to give individual one-on-one attention to every student who needs it when the class gets that big.” Photo by Allie Tseung

Whether you prefer to write eulogies in their traditional form; about a dead person, or are interested in finding an object to eulogize, there are many options to choose from. Overall, writing a eulogy can be a healthy way to process big emotions in a time of grief, but it can also be a fun way to remember an old stuffed animal or iPad.
