Often students are not aware of the many different career opportunities that are available to them in the world of healthcare. This program will allow your students to learn about various health-related careers including:

• Cardio-Vascular Technology – both Sonography and Invasive – what               are the differences?
• Medical Laboratory Technology
• Nursing - both LPN and RN
• Radiologic Technology and Radiology Informatics – what are the                       differences and how do they work together?
• Surgical Technology and more!

Students will be provided opportunities to participate in interactive demonstrations in HACC’s state-of-the-art labs and also meet with many local healthcare employers during this event!

If students are interested in attending they are to send Mrs. Scarborough a schoology message!

Synopsis 

Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation that played a remarkable 13-year run on Broadway and has been produced in 37 countries worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

This "tale as old as time" is filled with spectacular costume and set opportunities or, even more simply staged, Disney's Beauty and the Beast offers a great opportunity to bring your entire community together for family theatre at its best.

In Hempfield’s production, junior Laura Claire Walker will play the role of Belle opposite of sophomore Noah Felty as Beast.
