Biomedical Science Students had the opportunity to shadow different departments at Princeton Community Hospital. Students were allowed to pick a specific area of interest to get a better understanding of what a typical day is like. Areas of focus were Physical Therapy, Pathology, Radiology, Nursing, Oncology, Labor and Delivery, and Surgery.

Today was Turkey Trot Relay Day at PMS, a “Because You Are Here” attendance incentive. We had the following: 
🦃 Turkey Waddle – where students discovered that walking like a confused penguin is a competitive sport.
🌽 Pass the Corn – nothing bonds a team like frantically handing off candy corn. 
🥧 Thanksgiving Feast Relay – where kids ran in an effort to fill their tray with laminated food. 
🪶 Pass the Turkey Feather – shockingly intense for something that weighs less than air.
🎃 Pumpkin Roll – otherwise known as “controlled chaos featuring round objects being flung down an incline”. By the end, the turkeys were wobbling, the pumpkins were rolling, the corn was flying, and the teachers were rethinking all their life choices. Just kidding! It was a fabulous day to be a Pirate!!! 🏴‍☠️❤️🖤🤍 #pledgetobepresent #attendancematters

The Peterstown Middle School fifth grade students of the month for November are Kamryn McPherson and Bryson Koen.

In order for students post-concussion to get immediate and flexible support at school, classroom teachers must be our First Responders for Return to Learn. Much like a public health model where early and widespread identification, education and support occurs at the Universal/Primary Level, yielding an 80 to 90% intervention and prevention rate, Return to Learn supports in the general education setting will help our students feel better symptomatically so they can grow academically. Concussion research shows that 70% of students with a concussion will resolve within 28 days – that puts the “window of opportunity” for support squarely in the general education classroom!
