Some hospitals in the area have internship applications online for the summer.

Rotations start at 8:15 am and go until 10am. The program will likely continue until 3pm.

Sandwiches and drinks will be served for $7. Students have to have their money in by Friday, the 11th. There is a sign up sheet in Mrs. Martin's room.
