Thorough, dependable and discreet "cleaning with a personal touch." Chvotzkin's Professional Cleaning 696-3688 Students learn from For the past two years stu- dents at the Lake-Noxen Ele- mentary School have been in- volved in very unique class pro- jects. The students have learned the time honored tradition of quilting. The idea for the project was hatched during a math class when a quilt block was used to illustrate a fraction. The stu- dents were given the assignment of creating a block of their own out of paper. It was then decided the stu- dents would make an actual quilt for the entire school to use as a learning tool. The children made the ‘Patches of Fractions’ quilt by designing, attaching and labeling the blocks for the quilt. The quilt earned a blue ribbon and rosette at the Luzerne Coun- ty Fair last fall. “Our first experience was such a success that this year we ex- panded our participation to any of the sixth graders who were in- terested in learning to quilt,” said NRCI offering free skin cancer screenings The Northeast Regional Can- cer Institute (NRCI) is offering free skin cancer screenings. The screenings will be May 15 to May 19 at the following loca- tions: Community Medical Cen- ter, Mercy Hospital, and Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton; Mari- an Community Hospital, Car- bondale; and Cancer Center of Wyoming Valley, Wilkes-Barre. Appointments for the screen- ings are required and can be scheduled by calling NRCI May 7 through May 11, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 941-5959 or 1-800- 715-7572.
