Daily Announcements

Wednesday, March 20

March is National Athletic Training Month, an opportunity to spread awareness of the impact athletic trainers (ATs) have on work, life, and sport. Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice. 

 

March 20th: Taping and ice is a small part of what athletic trainers do. Athletic trainers also coordinate and execute injury prevention programs, prepare athletes for practices and games, communicate with physicians about injuries, treat and rehabilitate injured players, help determine return to play for injured athletes, monitor environment and weather conditions, develop and execute emergency action plans and are first responders on the scene.

 

Aaliyah Pippen, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program because helping people is something that I love to do along with sports. So, when I saw that this program offered both it sparked my interest. Being an athletic training student aide means being there when an athlete needs you.

 

Lana Johnston, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program because it teaches medical topics and I also saw that when my sister was a part of the program, she was part of a school family and that was something I wanted as well. Being an athletic training student aide means helping and watching over others.

 

Serena Sutherland, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program because I was at a time in my life where I was open to anything, and I started exploring the program. I realized it was so much more about the community and coming together as one to ensure all athletes are at their best peak to success. Being an athletic training student aide means you need an open mind to different injuries an athlete may have and helping them any way needed.

 

Lawton Levoy, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program to work with athletes and learn more about the human body. Being an athletic training aide means helping athletes and being open to learn anything.

 

Please join  the Guild of Gamers today after school  from 3-5 in room 1-335. We play all kinds of games , pc Xbox . PlayStation and board and card games too!  It's only $1 to play!  And remember...have fun, play games 

 

Every year on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly colored, mismatched socks.  3/21 is symbolic because people with Down Syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome.  Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Ds chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks.  Plan to wear your mismatched socks this Thursday, March 21!!

 

Seniors, please check your school email today for messages from Mrs. Scheuerman about DSC registration, scholarships, and olunteer opportunities. Reminder that the Mainland exclusive scholarship BUC Pride Never Dies as well as Believing in Your Dreams, both from Vince Carter Embassy of Hope, are DUE THIS WEEK!

 

Are you looking for opportunities to volunteer in our community? There are several fun events coming up that need your help! Please check your school email for a message from Mrs. Scheuerman sent to all students with information and sign-up links for several upcoming events.

Friday, March 15

March is National Athletic Training Month, an opportunity to spread awareness of the impact athletic trainers (ATs) have on work, life, and sport. Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice. 

 

The welfare of patients is their top priority. Athletic trainers work with patients to prevent injuries. If a patient is injured, they work with physicians to provide care and rehabilitate the patient back to life before the injury as fast and as safely as possible. Brain and spinal cord injuries and conditions such as heat illness can be life-threatening if not recognized and properly handled. Athletic trainers are there to immediately address emergencies.

 

Lauren Abrahams, Junior, President of ATSAA- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I want a career in sports medicine. Being a student aide gives me new learning experiences and helps me build the stepping stones to a career in physical therapy and kinesiology.

 

Ta'Kylee Bostick, Junior, Secretary of ATSAA- I chose to do the athletic training program because when I go to college, I want to do sports medicine and this program is giving me a head start in the career field. Being an athletic training student aide means a lot to me because this is what I want to do after school and for the rest of my life.

 

Kiera Williams, Junior, Social Head of ATSAA- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I already spent all of my time in the training room as an athlete my sophomore year. The atmosphere, energy, and environment drew me in. Being an athletic training student aide is learning about people, especially athletes, in physical aspects. Being able to jump into action and think quickly on your feet in any situation.

 

Ja'Kiya Carter, Junior- I chose athletic training because I want to go to college for sports medicine and this gives me the opportunity to build my future. Being an athletic training student aide means that I can get an experience in something most people can't get and I can continue to build my knowledge.

 

Marlay Williams, Junior- I chose athletic training because I knew it would give me the experience that would help me achieve my goals for the future, like becoming an orthopedic. Being an athletic training student aide means that I can get an experience that most people can't get as a high school student.

 

Shekinah Thomas, Junior- I chose the athletic training program to not only try something new but see if I wanted to pursue this as a future career. Being an athletic training student aide allows me to being fully involved on and off the field with the athletes. You build bonds with the athletes and the coaches and get to witness them make history. Being there through practices and losses you really understand what the game means to them. 

 

Amiyah Jackson, Junior- I chose to be in athletic training because I enjoy helping people as well as being involved within the school and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to accomplish both of those things. I'm learning new things every day from amazing leaders here at Mainland with Mrs. Ashley and Ms. Jones not only about athletic training but about life and how sports medicine and athletic training can benefit me in every aspect of my life and my future.
