Keeping Us Healthy: Women in Medicine was the theme for the latest Hawk's Place Career day. Central Lee Alumni Megan Warneke, MD, Breanne Vogel, ARNP, Anna Myhre, lab technician, along with Central Lee parent, Megan Clatt, dental hygienist, visited with the students about their careers. Guests shared with the students health care for their teeth and their bodies. Besides question and answer sessions they listened to their heart with a stethoscope, looked at bacteria under a microscope, and enjoyed jello "petri dishes with sprinkles (bacteria)" as an extra treat. Thank you to these ladies for sharing what their typical work day involves through giving a couple hours of their time to these inquisitive students,.
Congratulations to the Central Lee High School Art students who showed their art at the Keokuk Art Show throughout March.
Miss Heavin, Lifetime Wellness Instructor, is teaching first graders about using their strong core muscles to provide ability to balance themselves on a beam. Ask a first grader about the terms, make a T, dismount, salute, and bumps on a log. They are having fun and soaking in the beautiful sunshine as they showcase their skills.

Hawk Place kids were excited to enjoy playing some basketball with their idols from the high school girls and boys basketball teams. We appreciate these busy high schoolers and their coaches giving a day after school to the kids to learn some basketball skills, shoot some baskets, and even sign autographs for the eager waiting littles. They were so excited to get to meet and enjoy the "real " players.

Last night these Hawk Place students enjoyed cooking with one of our Central Lee alumni Guest Chefs, Kelley Jackson Davis. Kelley has been a monthly guest chef and the students really enjoy her visits. She is a natural in the kitchen and with the kids. We appreciate the giving of her time along with her mother, Yvonne Jackson, who accompanies her and shares wonderful pictures of the progress from instruction, preparing, eating and cleanup.

Hawk Place students celebrated yet another 100th birthday of Evelyn Pierce at the Montrose Care Center. The students presented the guest of honor with gifts they made adding a 100 pom poms on individual items. Gifts included a birthday hat, the letter E decor for her room and a wreath to hang on her door, as well as Happy Birthday cards. As they sang Happy Birthday they held up Happy Birthday pictures of the students cooperating together to make the letters with their bodies. The party concluded with cupcakes for all. Thank you Montrose Health Center for having us.
Look a these smiles! Hawk Place visits to YMCA Test Kitchen not only satisfy the palate but give the sense of achievement of making something delicious by themselves. Many of our students take what they learn back home to their own table. Making a meal for their family makes this a win win.
