"Bearable Times"
Many of you know the first project of TKHN was Bearable Times - a newsletter sent to hospitals, rehabs, and homebound children.  The newsletter debuted in 1994 and joined the internet community in 1995.  We have since been asked to do hardcopies of Bearable Times once again. The newsletter is for students and written by the students.  The hardcopy includes a wide variety of topics from health, education, music/movie reviews, students who make a different, community, school events, jokes, debates, games, student artwork/poems/stories, etc. The newsletter reaches the ages of middle and high school students.  We will be producing 3 newsletters during the remainder of the school year. 

Students, Child Life Specialists, Teachers,
Parents/Grandparents can
