Dr. Dowd Visits 6th Grade to Teach Skin Structure, Care and Confidence

Our 6th graders recently had a fantastic experience during a hands-on visit from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dowd.

Students learned all about the structure and function of skin, as well as practical ways to care for it. One highlight was a fun and memorable activity in which they simulated a clogged pore using Vaseline and sand.

Dr. Dowd also helped normalize conversations around acne, giving our students confidence and reassurance during this stage of growth.

Thank you, Dr. Dowd, for such an engaging and meaningful learning experience!
