Once again this year we are fortunate enough to have Algonquin nursing students doing a placement at Leslie Park. The students will be coming every Tuesday and Wednesday from March 19th until April 17th. While they are here the students will conduct simple health assessments of students who's parents/guardians have consented and will work one on one, or in small groups, helping students in the classroom. This has been a wonderful experience for students and staff at Leslie Park in the past and we are sure it will be wonderful again this year.
