Three CFCA students assisted the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine this week by volunteering to be pediatric "patients".  Eighth graders, Cassie McLamb and Sarah Bowman along with eleventh grade international student, Emir Demirkiran, arrived at the CUSOM campus a few miles down 421 and met the medical students who practiced their pediatric patient assessments and interactions with them as if they were real patients.  "It was interesting to see inside the medical school and good to do something simple to help the medical students," said Sarah.

CFCA 7th Grade student, Willow Tighe, has tasted flight!   Willow's father decided to give her flying lessons as a gift, so she takes lessons about once a month when she visits New Jersey.  Willow definitely now has her eyes turned skyward because she hopes to use her flying skills in a career with the US Coast Guard one day.
