Spring has arrived at Andrews

The star magnolias are in full bloom along the side of the Science building.

The daffodils are also blooming around the Marie Roos memorial tree.
It is nice to have the flowers back after a long snowy winter.

Tonya is also in micro. Seems like those bugs are really getting a going over.

Smruti trying to decide what to do next. Micro is the rotation all the students are in at the present time.

Charmaigne is going to write a note to those little bugs and maybe they will send back an email telling her who they are.

Thanks Karen for the pictures.

Seniors visit International Aid

On February 22nd some of the Seniors were taken to Grand Haven, MI to tour the facilities of International Aid. The class helped gather information for the "Lab-In-A-Suitcase" that IA makes available to medical personnel in underdeveloped countries.

They received a warm welcome, enjoyed a lovely lunch, then toured the facility. Just before leaving some of the students sang for the IA staff.
