Your Health Is Important!

New Medication? Ask your doctor about any New Medication. Information is power when it comes to your health. The next time you get a new prescription, ask:

- What is my exact diagnosis?

- Is the prescription recommended/approved for the diagnosis?

- Will my insurance cover it?

- What are the potential side effects?

- Are there alternatives I should consider?

- Advantages and disadvantages of each option.

Middle School Competition Judges Needed!

If you are interested in seeing some incredible, local, student projects, please consider volunteering as a judge. No prior experience or robotics knowledge is needed, students are also evaluated on professionalism and teamwork.

If you are interested in judging, please contact Bev Jagla as soon as possible.

There is a brief training coming up soon.
