[Rx2021] IPPE project hours opportunity: Kiwanis Club of Sheraden: UPDATE

Tue Apr 23 10:08:26 EDT 2019

Hello P1s and P2s (soon-to-be P2s and P3s!)

The Kiwanis Club has opened up a 2nd tabling opportunity (same event, 2nd table there) on Saturday, May 11th from 10am-1pm, as per the email below. The participants are kindergarten through 8th grade, and preschoolers, and their parents/grandparents. Originally, Kiwanis was looking for rising P2s for one table, but the opportunity has now expanded to include two different tables, so rising P2s and P3s can do this in May.

Table 1: health care topic, ideally similar to your P1 health fair topic - geared toward health, safety, early literacy, mental health, etc. (3 students)
Table 2: poison prevention topic (Pittsburgh Poison Center has materials you can hand out and teach about (3 students)

Please let me know if you are interested in this event by Friday, April 26th, and I will put you in contact with the pointpersons you can speak with for more details. If you can reply as your group of three, that would be easiest, but not required.

Thank you!

Hello P1s (soon-to-be P2s!),

The Kiwanis Club of Sheraden is holding its 15th Annual Kiwanis Kids' Health, Safety, and Fun Fair on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from 10am-1pm at Langley Pre-K-8 Cafeteria in Sheraden. The location is 2940 Sheraden Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15204. Set-up time is 9:30am. The purpose of this fair is to promote good health and safety, early literacy, involvement in community organizations and entertainment. Health care, safety, and mental health literacy topics, and local organizations will be represented there.

There will be approximately 40 organizations represented, so by volunteering to do this, you'll be representing the School of Pharmacy at this event. Last year, ~150 children/adults from the Sheraden, Elliot, West End, Chartiers City, and Crafton Heights areas participated in this free event.  Dr. Maureen Reynolds, who has been involved with the P1 Health Fair in the past, knew of your work this year at our P1 Health Fair, and she contacted me to see if any of you would be interesting is using your topics for this Kiwanis event.

One table (three students) has been reserved for Pitt Pharmacy at the event. You'll work together to present the same topic. The audience includes kindergarten and pre-school students too, and could include up to 8th graders, so it is important to have your table be very interactive. Visitors to your table will come from both sides, so you cannot use your Health Fair poster exactly as you made it (they do not want a stand-up board). You can modify your Health Fair content though to use it.

Please let me know if you are interested by Friday April 26th. If you could let me know your group of 3, that would be most helpful. First-come, first-served. Once you are confirmed, I will connect you with Dr. Reynolds for more details.

Good luck on your finals!!
