7th-Grade Health Symposium at the middle school underscores RE's commitment to health and wellness
Ransom Everglades showed its commitment to the health and wellness of its students with the 7th-Grade Health Symposium, an event on May 9 at the middle school that showcased dozens of student projects and featured an informative medical roundtable with medical experts with RE ties. Medical doctors Chad Perlyn, Gautam Yagnik, Heather Mason '96, Mythili Ghanta and Sri Nagalla answered questions and offered students healthcare tips and wellness guidance.
Seventh-grade teachers Alex Gunner, Robin Escobedo and Bridgette Laskey organized the first-time event.
Two days before, Perlyn addressed upper school students at the Lewis Family Auditorium on his career as a pediatric plastic surgeon who specializes in addressing physical abnormalities and facial injuries. The Senior Vice President at Nicklaus Children's Health System, Perlyn shared his path from to life-saving surgeries from a spontaneous trip to Haiti to staff a field hospital set up in the wake of the 2010 earthquake. The officers in RE's HealthcaRE club, Sophie Ansin '25, Anna Lavernia '25 and Sydney Schimel '26, arranged for that visit.
