In Mrs. Kacer's Medical Terminology class, the students think the body is pretty "super," so they each chose three glands and made a superhero comic about them.

A student-created comic strip about medical glands. The panels tell a story about "The Seedy Sopranos" invading "Tinnitus City," featuring superhero characters named "Tung Tung Testes," "Optimal Ovaries," and "Pancake Pancreas" who save the day.
A student's "Super Gland" project showing a 6-panel comic. Each panel features a personified gland—like the Pineal gland with a sleep mask and the Thymus gland as a security guard—alongside handwritten descriptions of their biological functions and "work schedules."
A student's comic strip using "Boom" and "Crack" action bubbles to show how glands respond to stress. It features "Captain Pineal" managing sleep and a hero representing the Adrenal gland responding to a "Bone in Trouble" alert to restore balance.

Mrs. Hopper’s Health Science Theory was fortunate to have guest speaker Linda Espita, LVN, from SPJST Nursing & Rehabilitation. During her visit, students learned about a typical day in the life of a geriatric nurse. They asked prepared questions, interacted with her, and had the opportunity to look at several items used in the nursing home setting.

Thank you, Mrs. Espita and SPJST, for taking the time to speak with our students and share your knowledge and experience!
