Kosciusko-Attala CTC Ed Prep and Health Science students teamed up to teach the Mississippi Handwashing Program to kindergarten students at Kosciusko Lower Elementary.

Throughout the lesson, CTC students demonstrated each step of correct handwashing (wetting hands, applying soap, scrubbing for 20 seconds, rinsing thoroughly, and drying with a clean towel) and singing “Top and Bottom.”

To make the lesson engaging and memorable, the Ed Prep and Health Science students incorporated a book, visuals, and activities.

The experience was mutually beneficial: kindergarten students gained essential health skills, while Ed Prep and Health Science students strengthened their communication, leadership, and instructional abilities.

“Programs like this help our students connect classroom learning with real-world application,” Ed Prep Instructor Tessa Horn noted. Health Science Instructor Amy Price said, “At the same time, we are helping young children build healthy habits that keep them healthy throughout the school year.”

The partnership between Kosciusko-Attala CTC and Kosciusko Lower Elementary continues to provide meaningful opportunities for community engagement, career exploration, and student leadership development.

CARTHAGE, Miss.–A Saturday night police chase that started in Leake County ended with one person in custody.

That chase started around 9:45 p.m. when a Leake County deputy reported that someone he had attempted to stop instead took off and was possibly armed.

The chase was down Hwy. 43, and when it got close to Madison County, deputies there were notified and were waiting near the intersection of highways 43 and 17 south of Camden, with spike strips.

Speeds were at more than 105 mph at points on the two-lane highway.

Though the spike strips did their job, the chase continued, with the suspect vehicle still reaching speeds of near 90.

The vehicle turned north onto Hwy. 17 and deputies notified Holmes County authorities that the chase might come into their county.

It didn’t quite get that far. The vehicle stopped before reaching Pickens and at 10 p.m. a Leake County deputy reported one person was in custody.

The charges have not yet been announced by Leake County authorities.
