SOAR 2012 - Koby Ellick Blogs!

SOAR (8th Entrepreneurship and Leadership) began yesterday with a presentation by Dr. Mark Hyman, a Greensboro family dentist.  Dr. Hyman's three children are BSDS alumni. He is a member of the Board of Governors and coached basketball at B'nai Shalom for over nine years.  Koby Ellick is today's eighth grade blogger. Attached are his notes!

  • Instead of using metal or gold in fillings today, they use a plastic liquid that is just inserted and they quickly solidified.
