EAST NORRITON — As a part of Penn Christian Academy’s monthly theme for their Kindergarten classes — January’s being health — teachers and students visited Mercy Suburban Hospital on Friday to learn about Radiology and Rehabilitation. The school has a different theme every month for the Kindergarten classes and teachers shape their lessons around them. They also arrange field trips that tie into each month’s respective theme.
Joey Schwertfeger from the Radiology department talked about x-rays, showing them what x-rays looked like on a light box and even gave them a sneak peek into one of the x-ray rooms. Nicole Reggia from the Rehabilitation department showed the children around the department and showed them how it helps patients recover after an injury.
