Mrs. Holmes' Foundations of Healthcare class is finishing up their Chapter on Careers in Healthcare. She polled her students on what careers interested them most and then brought in Heather Hilvert DVM, Sarah Dewey RN, Buddy Bodenhammer EMT/Paramedic, Samantha Schmeski RDA, and Dr. Brad Coleman DDS to come speak with my students about the various aspects of their careers. Students got to hear about their schooling, salaries, how to go into that career, and made community partner connections to reach out to in the future if they want to job shadow. Mrs. Holmes said: "We really do live in a wonderful community and I cannot thank these mentors enough for giving up their time to come speak to my students."
**Access to federal funds for families in Arkansas with the Child Tax Credit**
Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before (and if they have not yet already filed taxes this year).
There is now an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less in English or Spanish. People have until November 15 to sign up this year at GetCTC.org/arschools.
