          Are you or is someone in your family a nurse, a doctor, a dental hygienist, a first aid squad volunteer? Perhaps your child’s aunt, uncle or good neighbor is a nutritionist, a fire fighter, a police officer, a municipal health inspector, or a pharmacist? Then you, your relative, or neighbor might want to consider getting involved in our first grade by being a guest speaker. Speakers will discuss their health and safety careers, and share information on a topic. The topics and their objectives are listed below. If you are interested, email Mrs. Macken at cmacken@cwcboe.org.
