Health care careers, summer program fees and awards | School Board Dist. 186

The board is piloting a new Hospital Heroes program at three schools, giving students a firsthand look at health care careers beyond doctors and nurses. Ridgely, Wilcox, and Southern View are the first to try out these hands-on kits, with hopes to expand soon.

Recognition was given to this year’s top administrator and educator, as well as a district volunteer honored with a Heart of Gold award.

Families of future kindergartners: don’t miss Kindergarten Preview Night on April 29 at your local elementary school.
