Food Power -- March 10, 2005

Food Power was a huge learning area with sights and sounds and experiences all about FOOD! We had 26 volunteer nurses from the Hannibal Vo-Tech school under the guidance of Debbie Houseman, the nursing instructor.

Our PE teacher, Melissa Menze, was the coordinator right here at Eugene Field school and she did a great job. She made sure all the kids were scheduled and in groups to enjoy the demonstrations.
