The term “sock baby” may lead to an array of things someone might picture. The sock babies were often pink (sometimes black) socks, filled with rice, with arms, legs and a head that made it look more like a real baby. Even though they resembled babies, socks go in shoes and, apparently, some students think sock babies do too.

Conifer High School used to host the lab through Lutheran hospital in the morgue, and the lab was run by a medical student on only one cadaver. The lab was then moved to Red Rocks, which provided the students the opportunity to observe both a male and female cadaver. It’s two cadavers and you go in there and it’s much more open, it doesn’t feel like a morgue, Christine Stricker said.

Decrease in enrollment across Jeffco is being attributed to a decline in school aged kids. Schools are being consolidated in order to combat the negative consequences of low enrollment.

Band and Orchestra director Sean Cartner conducts his students during class. Conifer’s music program does not have Honors or AP classes, which has led to some students leaving the class. “There are a lot of memories that are going to be made in high school, and I would hate for a student to be so stressed out because they’re worried about becoming valedictorian that they ruin their final semester in high school,” school counselor Justin Neuenschwander said.
