1.	Earphone English:  Don't forget to stop 
by to pick up new audio books, make requests or 
add to your extra credit sheets.  We'll also

2.	Health Fact of the Week:  Most sexually 
transmitted infections have no symptoms. 
Meaning, there are no signs, but you still have 
the infection.  STI/ STD testing is available, 
free, and confidential @the BHS Health Center. 
That means you can get tested without paying a 
cent.  So don't wait, get tested now.  Brought to 
you by the BHS Youth Advisory Board.
