This Biology class hits home for P.Amboy high schoolers

I thought it was my last but I found this article in the Star Ledger last week about blogging
A student was blogging to two teenage twins. The twins mother had cancer and so they put up a website to help them.

The twins turned ou to be an employee from NJMDNJ .The class didn't know it. The blog is a series being tested in schools throughout the state that combines traditional science teaching with the tangible effects of cancer. The unique class was devised last summer by the Center for School and Community Health Education at the UMDNJ Cancer Institute. It was funded by $350,000 in grants that focus on breast cancer research.
