CHOOSE CFSD
In 7th and 8th grade social studies, students analyze personal finance principles, including the relationship between interest rates, savings, credit, investments, and return. Bringing this learning to life is Ms. Dawn Willman's personal finance case study, where students act as financial advisors to clients in a mock setting. Students examine the factors that influence spending decisions, then present a proposed budget and a detailed set of recommendations to their classmates.

Advancing the Fight against Cancer
How can we speed up a cancer cell's death? Foothills grad Corey Jones-Weinart '10 is studying one possible answer to this question, through his work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California. He is looking at how a telomere shortening-driven crisis contributes to a cancer cell's death, and he hopes to develop strategies to activate these pathways in cancer cells, leading to their selective elimination. Dr. Jones-Weinert's work is published in the November 2023 issue of Nature. Congratulations!
