Gerontology May 25 - 29

Here is a quick look at the upcoming week As always it is subject to change

Monday - I am away at the Board office today and you are scheduled to have an assembly for grade 11 and 12s from 2:10 - 3:10.  I want you to think about how the topic in the assembly can be applied to Senior Citizens. If something happens and there is no assembly then you will be working on your final evaluation.

Tuesday - More time to work on your final evaluation projects.  Remember that 4 of you have expressed an interest in attending the Alzheimer Society Volunteer presentation tonight at the Betty Cardno Centre.  This will count as your self directed final evaluation project if you write a reflection on the evening.

Wednesday - Huronview Day - PLEASE make every effort to attend.  Some of you have missed Huronview quite a few times and you disappoint a senior when you do that.

Thursday - Caring for a senior- the role of a PSW and family caregivers

Friday - I am away at OFSSAA West Regionals for Track and Field - you will be working on your final evaluation projects.  They are due Monday June 15.  This is a FIRM Deadline
