Service Week  

Wednesday, Nov. 4th: Bethune and Community Engagement sites
1) Bethune Elementary School is holding an exciting Science and Health Fair in collaboration with Temple medical students! Bethune students will showcase their science experiments, and Temple Medicine student organizations in return will present health literacy exhibits to educate their younger counterparts. We are hoping for involvement from the Temple community to help make the experience for the students at Bethune as exciting as possible! We want to get the students excited about science, health, and the exciting opportunities that Temple University would have to offer them in their future.

2) Community Engagement sites include SHARE, HERO, and Habitat for Humanities 

Thursday, Nov. 5th: 
SHARE will accommodate 18 students for those who cannot make Wednesday.

Saturday, Nov 7th American Heart Association Walk @ Citizens Bank park, 9:30AM-12:30

Walk and support efforts against heart disease and stroke, conditions which unfortunately find their way into every family and field of medicine. They'll have a life size heart exhibit (great review for M1 & M2's) and activities for younger kids (Sportacus & Stephanie from Sprout's Lazy Town, Heart Hero capes that look awesome, and a Kid's dash). Even if you don't plan on attending, please share the team page and send emails to raise awareness.
