Our Field Trip to the Clinic

By, Mary Wright

On Feb.24th, our teacher, Erika Bulthuis took my three siblings, my mother, and I on a field trip to our local clinic, the Akisyon A Yesu Presbyterian Clinic.  During this trip we were introduced to the different parts of the microscope.

When we walked in the clinic staff were in the middle of the meeting; we sat down and observed for a few minuets.  Then Elizabeth (the lab technician) escorted us to the lab.  Once we were inside Elizabeth began to tell us the different parts of the microscope and what they are used for.  After the introduction we got to see a blood sample Elizabeth had taken earlier that day of patient who had tested negative for malaria.  

I am glad we had this opportunity to learn more about microscopes by seeing and using one.  I'm also thankful I live so close to a clinic which has good technology to detect different diseases.  

Another A.

Mary Wright earned an A on her next unit math test.  Great job!!  Your teachers are proud of you for your hard work.

Congratulations! to Mary and Christiana for both getting "A"s on their unit 7 and 8 Pre-Algebra tests. Keep up the good work.

Hello. My name is Christiana Wright. My family and I live in Karamoja, Uganda and we have lived here for about eleven years. We are working for the OPC (Orthodox Presbyterian Church). I am almost 12 and my favorite color is dark purple. I like to knit and I also like to read. My favorite books are probably the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

Unlike two of my sisters I have long legs.  I am 5 feet 3 inches. I have blonde hair and greenish blue eyes. My mother (Martha) is a linguist and a teacher. My father (Bob) is a engineer/contractor.

Bye.

Hi, I'm Bobby. I live in Africa, Uganda, to be exact. I have red hair, brown eyes and I'm 6 ¼ '' tall. I'm slightly random sometimes. Actually most of the time. We are here with the OPC. My dad is the engineer here so I help him out every day after school. I help with almost anything from shoveling dirt to drilling boreholes. It's pretty cool. I forgot to mention I'm 17. So.....
