Imagine an event that brings the long-term care community of residents, rehab patients, families and care center staff together for a week-long celebration. Now, think of the event as a festival or a party. This sense of community is what led the American Health Care Association (AHCA) to select “It’s a Small World with National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May a Big Heart” as the theme for 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday.

It also recognizes the miracles they help to make happen on a day to day basis, both large and small. Take this year’s National Hospital Week as an opportunity to thank all of the dedicated individuals – physicians, nurses, therapists, engineers, food service workers, volunteers, administrators and so many more – for their contributions.

Thursday, May 12, 2016 ©2016 Reppert Publications Section B From the Wildcats' Lair By Rob Wright, Superintendent Anna-Jonesboro Community High School It is hard to believe that we are less than a month away from graduation and the end of another school year. Each year seems to go a little faster than the previ- ous one. With almost two years under my belt as superin- tendent, I am finally starting to feel as though I have a handle on the inner workings of the school and the vari- ous relationships we have with community members. I am very thankful for all of the help and volunteer work that is donated by so many individuals and groups throughout our wonderful community. It enhances and creates opportunities for our students that would other- wise not be available. This happens to be one of my favorite times of the year, and also the busiest. The seniors are excited as they prepare for a new chapter in their lives. It is also a time to celebrate the successes of our stu- dents throughout the year. We recently held the induc- tion ceremony for our National Honor Society. Awards Night is coming up soon also, as well as recognition banquets for our outstanding seniors. Jordan Lence, a recent Gold Key winner in the Scholastic Art Competition at the local level, also was a Gold Key winner at the Scholastic National Awards and has been asked to send in her scratchboard for display at Carn- egie Hall and attend the national ceremony in June.
