AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEAR YOUR JEANS TO WORK AND CONTRIBUTE TO A WORTHY CAUSE! All CAT Staff are invited to donate $3 or more toward Healthy Learners and wear jeans to work! First date for 2006-2007 to be announced soon! Healthy Learners is a non-profit organization that assists in meeting the health needs of many of our children. They arrange appointments, sometimes providing transportation to those appointments, in order to provide vision exams, dental care, doctor exams, medication, counseling and other services. Healthy Learners fills the gap for parents who have experienced temporary financial difficulty and for those whose insurance coverage may be insufficient due to recent family structure or employment changes. Healthy Learners also assists parents during the time that Medicaid applications are being processed. During last school year, Healthy Learners assisted in caring for the health needs of 22+ of our students. Services have included coverage for dental appointments, doctor appointments, medications, transportation to appointments, eye exams and glasses, hearing exams and counseling sessions.

Only 20 percent of women identify heart disease as the greatest health problem facing women today. The Heart Truth is that women don't take their risk of heart disease seriously or personally. Women often fail to make the connection between risk factors, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and their own chance of developing heart disease. Find out more...
