From Gifted Student to Medical School

"Tar Wars" Lesson 

These 4th grade Quest students were recently treated to a special visit by Elizabeth Jones, a University of MS Medical Center student and former member of the gifted program in the Poplarville School District. She presented a "TAR WARS" lesson which teaches students about the dangers of tobacco use. One activity encouraged them to run in place while breathing through a straw. It illustrated the restrictions that smoking can put on your lungs. The students learned a great deal about the importance of remaining tobacco-free. We are proud of Elizabeth and wish her all the best as she completes her medical degree.
