Busy Day!

Hi Everyone,

We had a lot going on today and I have to say, you sure kept up with me! We covered part of Chapter 3 today and glanced at the muscular system. This week we are learning about hospice and what careers are associated with that area of care. What does "palliative care" mean? When you walk in tomorrow, tell me as you walk in the door and I'll give you a comforting treat.

ASSIGNMENT ALERT!!! Who will be the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine this year? Well, you'll receive 25 points when you bring me a two-paragraph (typed) paper on who won, who they are and why they won. This is due on October 8th. GO TO nobelprize.org and keep an eye on it! The winner will be announced on October 5th.

Jeanie from Good News Bears came in today to pick up the stuffed animals. Our counter is "bare", not beary good, right? Please go on Facebook, text, leadership groups, emails, church, community service classes, library, sports teams, handouts for all of your teachers, store and your family!!! How can YOU help? Go to goodnews bears.org for more information. Another way to help.....Good News Bears calendars are on sale in the classroom now......only $10.00.

Please tell your family and friends via Facebook, emails, etc. about the "CMAA Day of Education" at LPC on October 17th. All students, parents friends and co-workers are invited. You do not have to be in the medical field. The topics will include "Cervical Cancer and HPV", "Hepatitis", "Medical Billing Resources", "Patient Advocacy" and "Alzheimer's Disease".
