As part of our ongoing business partnership with Nemours Children's Clinic, Dr. Jim Sylvester will host a monthly symposium for our 8th grade students. Dr. Sylvester, a molecular geniticist, brought Mr. Paul Garfinkel from the Nemours Research Review and Ethics department for the first symposium.
Dr. Sylvester and Mr. Garfinkel gave an overview of the work being done at Nemours and its importance to our own community, the nation, and the world. Students were encouraged to log on to http://www.kidshealth.org/ for the latest in health related topics and information.
Students were emcouraged to begin planning for their futures by
- making the most of their educational opportunities,
- learning to relate to and work well with others, and
- being able to accept change.
We look forward to our next Symposium with Sylvester.
