Description : Lead (a neurotoxin) can be found in household spices. In coordination with the Douglas County Health Department (DCHD), spices were collected from staff and students at Westview HS. The samples will then be tested during lab time to determine the presence of lead. The results of the lead testing will be shared back with the high school and the students. No identifiable information about the spices was collected, therefore we will not be reporting to families or DCDH if the spices tested positive for lead. P-16 CHEM 1144.001

Description : Blackburn Alternative Program helps students achieve their social and academic goals through smaller classes, flexible scheduling, and supportive staffing. Food for Thought is a long-term service learning project that connects the culinary program at Blackburn with the senior’s programming at Adams Park Community Center. Every Wednesday, Blackburn students will create a healthy meal for the seniors at Adams Park. For this project, UNO students will focus on helping serve at the meals and interact with the seniors. UNO students will also attend the Blackburn culinary class a few times during the project to develop relationships with student partners. UNO students are expected to arrive at Adam’s Park no later than 11:30 am each Wednesday. Upon arrival, UNO students will set up supplies, help Blackburn students unload the food, serve drinks, and get to know the seniors. Throughout the meal, UNO students are able to interact with both Blackburn students and seniors. UNO students are also expected to visit Blackburn Alternative Program to create meaningful relationships with the Blackburn students. UNO students have the option of shadowing Blackburn’s social worker, Ms. Bonam. Over the semester, UNO students will work on a project identified by Adams Park Senior Center that supports the relationships, dignity, and worth of the participants of Adams Park Center.

Description : """Students from UNO Instructor Bruce Chase’s Honors 3000 class partnered with Kristin Utterback’s King Science Middle School Health Care Academy class to learn from and support clients at Omaha’s MS Forward. MS Forward was created in 2003 as a person-focused place where those combatting the effects of disease or aging could go to engage in movement and strengthening in a supportive, inspiring, and safe space. The idea for this new project was born through a desire to provide students an opportunity to learn, interact, asses, and understand more about individuals living with chronic conditions. KS goals: To give students a hands-on learning experience that will showcase how to think holistically as a future health career professional. Do biopsychosocial assessments, develop workout routines and complete them with the MSForward clients. UNO class goals: provide honors student to mentor middle school student and engage with MS Forward clients in learning workout modifications for those with physical impairments. MSF goals: to give the clients a sense of purpose and giving back to the community. They get to share their stories and experiences with their disability."" "
