More than a dozen juniors and seniors in the Health Careers program at the LoGuidice Educational Center helped bring some Bear Care to the Health and Wellness Fair held Thursday at Dunkirk Intermediate School. 🧸🩺🏫
Working alongside instructor Melissa Seelbinder, the Career & Technical Education students helped coordinate a Teddy Bear Clinic, where children were invited to bring their favorite stuffed animals for a “check-up."
For those who didn’t have one, teddy bears were provided at no cost so every child could participate. The event also featured additional health and wellness activities, including free lead testing and access to community resources.
