Thank You, JELCC Dental Assisting Students!

JELCC's dental assisting students teamed with a local dentist to offer dental examinations to NCTS and NCHS students.  Students learned about dental hygiene, while having their teeth cleaned.  

A special shout out to Elieth, a former NCTS student who is now working towards a career in the dental field. Your NCTS teachers are proud of the work you have accomplished, Elieth! 

Earlier in the semester, dental assisting students visited NCTS classes and provided valuable lessons related to dental care and health. NCTS thanks you for this on-going partnership.

NCTS Volunteers for Gleaners Food Bank of Indianapolis

NCTS partnered with Gleaners to help fight hunger in Indianapolis. 

 While volunteering, NCTS students worked as a team to package 22,400 pounds of food. 

As a result of this team effort, 560 Indianapolis families will receive care packages from Gleaners. 

"I learned that it is better to think about others before yourself."  -Kourtney

"Volunteering at Gleaners was a lot of work.  We packed enough boxes to feed about 550 families. It was a lot of work, but knowing that I was helping people, made it all worth it.  If we had another chance to volunteer at Gleaners, I would do it again.  I think everyone should visit and volunteer." -Kordell

"This field trip really made me think about what life must be like for working moms.  It must be long and tiring. I am glad I got to help by stocking and lifting boxes of food and preparing the boxes for shipping. The field trip was a great experience."  -Cordell

"Gleaners was a very fun experience, and I hope that one day I can do it all again."  -Cameron

"I had a huge blast on this field trip.  I found it extremely cool that I was helping others and giving back to others! I hope to do this again sometime soon.  Volunteering was a great way to start off this new year, 2014!"  -Victoria
