UHS Delaware Valley Hospital sponsors a teddy bear clinic where children can bring stuffed animals and go through the hospital to show them the different rooms and areas they might need if brought in for an emergency.
The introduction is made easier as the stuffed animal is being examined and it is hoped it helps alleviate fear should they ever have to be there in case of an emergency.
This year, the third-grade class went as they missed the opportunity as second graders because of covid. In the spring, the current second-grade classes will go for this yearly event.
Areas visited included the emergency room, CT scanner, ambulatory, as well as visiting with EMS and K9 dogs from the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department.

Sixth graders in multimedia arts this quarter made wind-powered cars. The class utilized the middle school Makerspace for this project.
First, the students designed their cars in Tinkercad, an online 3D design program. From there, they 3D printed the wheels of the car, laser cut the car bodies with the district’s Glowforge machine, and then cut the sails with a Cricut maker.
Once the cars were assembled, they raced one another. William Bartlett’s car finished first, traveling a distance of 22 feet, 7 inches. Shay Johnson was second at 22 feet, 2 inches.
