💜💗 Purple Pinky Day: Small Act, BIG Impact! 💗💜
Last week, our Bears joined the fight to end polio in recognition of World Polio Day! 🌎💜
Polio is a contagious virus that can cause paralysis, but it is preventable through vaccination. 💉
💜 Why purple pinkies? During polio vaccination campaigns, children’s pinkies are marked with purple ink to show they’ve received the vaccine. Painting our pinkies purple helps raise awareness and support the global effort to End Polio Now!
We’re proud of our Interact Club Bears for spreading awareness and showing that even a little purple can make a BIG difference! 🐻💜

💙🐻 Learning in Action! 🐻💙
Our Sports Medicine students are putting their knowledge into practice in the Injury Assessment course! 🩺💪
Students are learning and practicing special tests used to assess rotator cuff injuries. Through hands-on practice, they are developing skills in proper hand placement, testing techniques, and evaluating shoulder injuries.
They’re also learning how to interpret patient symptoms and test results to help identify which muscles may be involved and determine whether a specific injury may be present.
We love seeing our Bears build real-world skills and prepare for future careers in sports medicine and healthcare! 🩻👏
Way to go, Bears! Keep learning, practicing, and growing! 💙
