6/21/05     Dr. Haldeman visits Deale Elementary School for Career Day

On May 12, 2005 Dr. Haldeman participated in Deale Elementary School's Career Day.  She spoke to three classes of second graders about what it is like to be a veterinarian.  When asked "who wants to be a veterinarian" many raised their hands.  Far fewer raised their hands when she asked- "who likes to do homework" as she explained the years of extra school involved in becoming a veterinarian.  The children particularily liked the "Fannie the Flea and Tammy the Tapeworm" parasite presentation and the jars of ticks passed around the classroom.   See Photos of Dr. Haldeman's day at Deale Elementary.
