Lincoln Elem. students collected

28.2 pounds of can tabs which were taken to the Ronald

McDonald House in Cincinnati. The boys helped put the tabs in

the house pictured and were

added to the collection. The RMH uses the can tabs to pay their

electric bills for the house. Great job, Lions!

Four medical students

from ETSU’s Quillen College of Medicine

visited the D-B Health Science classes last week.

Two of the students were

D-B’s own Adam Metzger (2009) and Michael

Stallard (2011). They spoke to the class about

medical school (preparation and admission) and the vast

opportunities for physicians.

In addition, they brought cadaver specimens (brain,

heart, eye, lungs, liver, and spleen). D-B Health Science

students learned the

structure and function of each specimen then were

able to examine each during a hands-on activity.

The Jefferson Elem.

Giving Tree Project was a success thanks to Jefferson

students and families for supporting the project!
