Woodlands High School teacher Samuel Washington Jr.'s biology and AP biology classes are spent the week visiting Bailey and the Lee F. Jackson School to teach the younger students about nutrition, fitness, and healthy lifestyles.

The high school students went to New York Medical College where Dr. John Edwards gave them an overview of careers in physiology, lead tours of the labs and guide them through a medical school lab based on blood pressure and stress tests.

This marks the 10th anniversary of PhUn week and almost 600 students in the district have participated.
