Forward in Health Student Group Update
The Forward in Health Student Group
at Gardner High School held its 6th Annual Teacher Talent Show on
Thursday February 9th. Several hundred students watched as 15 teacher
and staff acts sang songs, played instruments, performed magic, danced, and brought
down the house with comedy routines.
The student
group formed six years ago to provide support for Forward in Health and to
provide the students with an opportunity to help others in need. Each year in
addition to the Teacher Talent Show, the group produces a dance show, a student
talent show, a raffle and a yard sale. Several
club members have traveled to Haiti with Forward in Health and have since gone
on to medical careers. The 24 current members of the club are co-advised by
Forward in Health board member and history teacher, John Gardella, and Cindy
Taddeo, a speech and language pathologist for the Gardner Public Schools.
Male members of the GHS History Department show their extreme dedication to FIH fundraising efforts by posing as the "Wildcat Dolls" for the GHS/FIH talent show!
"The Midnight Judges" perform at the talent show, featuring FIH Board Member John Gardella on bass.
