Bethel University’s PA department visited Dresden Middle School 7th graders this week, bringing science to life! The students who had been studying the heart and lungs in their health science classes had the chance to dive deeper with hands-on learning about these organs. Great job as always by Kerri Smith and the PA team for dedicating their time, and career coach Mrs. Mindy Thomas for organizing such an impactful day for the 7th grade!
