Kelly Pyott and Kelli Zortman (and June-Bug the Boston Terrier) from Shiloh Veterinary Hospital came in to speak to the Anatomy and Physiology students at NHS about careers in Veterinary Medicine. They also discussed the surgical and physical therapy requirements for CCL repair surgery in dogs and used June-Bug as their helper. This was an amazing presentation and the students really learned a lot about Veterinary Medicine.

As part of the Spanish IV Honors curriculum, the high school students are offering the elementary school pro-

gram to the fourth graders at Shallow Brook Intermediate. Here are some highlights from the first two lessons

during which elementary students learned how to state their names, ask for others' names, ask and state how

they're doing, and respond to basic commands with classroom objects.
