Twelve students from the morning 4-year-old class at Newtown Congregational Preschool toured Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals, Wednesday, May 23, to learn about what a veterinarian does and the services provided at an animal hospital. Students listened to a dog’s heartbeat, visited the small animal examination room, viewed X-rays and tried on the protective lead apron, visited the recovery and surgery rooms, and participated in brushing a dog’s teeth. In this photo right, Ava Almeter listens to Travis’s heartbeat, while Ms Simpson looks on. The preschoolers have also recently visited the Public Works Highway Department headquarters and enjoyed a tour led by Public Works Director Frederick Hurley, and on May 18, got a taste of what it will be like to ride a school bus, thanks to LeReine Frampton, Bus 17. —Bee Photos, Crevier PLEASE NOTE: The full collection of photos that made up the slideshow that accompanied this story online can be found in a separate gallery, here: http://newtownbee.smugmug.com/Journalism/Special-Events/Preschoolers-Visit-Animal/23300123_5DNcgc#!i=1880301852&k=FzN769k

A patient undergoes a full body scan for health issues, Wednesday, May 16, at NVS. Synchronizing the installation of high tech equipment, like the 7,000-pound CT scanner, as renovations to the new clinic were finished was one of the many hurdles over which NVS owners Dr Debra Weisman and Scott Schifilliti had to jump, in order to open on May 9.
