Mrs. Bolinger is offering a brand new course this semester, Animal Health and Veterinary Science! Yesterday, students modeled aseptic hand washing procedures. They covered their hands in glo-germ gel and first attempted to remove the "germs" through "social" hand washing (normal handwashing). Next, students learned aseptic hand washing technique to properly remove the "germs" from their skin.
