Exciting News from NC's Genomics Lab | |
Effects of Work Stress of Gut Microbiota
For the last year, Samantha Downey, Tommy Elliot and Elena Carter have all been collaborating with Teresa Rangel, a Nurse researcher from Providence Sacred Heart on a really interesting project analyzing the microbiome of nurses during the pandemic.
Last year, the trio completed some incredible technical feats and were able to extract DNA and sequence the microbiome of nurses who had been working 3 consecutive 12 hour shifts and compared those to the microbiome of nurses who had been at rest for 3 days to analyze stress markers.
After the analysis, they noted some significant changes and the results were exciting!
The three were invited to present at Providence’s Clinical Inquiry Conference (held online), and Sam and Tommy presented to a group of nurse researchers today.

Screenagers Community Viewing
Attention NC Community: You are invited to come take part in viewing part one of a three part documentary series- Screenagers! We will have free pizza and popcorn for all who attend, and we will also be giving away some NC swag! We are very excited to have the opportunity to be the first school in Spokane to host this event! It will be held at North Central High School on November 6th from 5:30-7:00, and we would love to have anyone in the NC Feeder Pattern Community in attendance! This is a great opportunity for parents of children of any age, but especially those of children entering the adolescent years!
SCREENAGERS is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on kids and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. What started out as a personal story for one has grown into a national movement, helping millions of teens and their families navigate growing up in a world with instant access to screens.
We will also have information about our Groovy Shoes theme and how to pre-order a shirt for the game this year!

Hello NC Community!
NCHS participates in the West Spokane Wellness Partnership along with many of our critical community partners. The West Spokane Wellness Partnership is a community coalition made up of volunteers working to reduce youth substance misuse in the West Spokane community. The collaboration with NC helps fund many projects and programs that help keep our youth safe, educated about substance misuse, and provides resources and interventions to help those in need. We are looking for your input on their annual community survey. The survey takes 5-15 minutes to complete and can be found here:

3rd Millenium Classrooms Partnership
As part of the prevention and intervention resources offered by NC, 3rd Millenium gives our students an opportunity to learn about different substances (nicotine, marijuana, alcohol, opioids, etc.) and how these substances work in the body and the harm associated with use at a young age and without a prescription from a medical professional. Usually students participate in this program when a disciplinary referral has been made to administration; however, in the past we have utilized this program as a prevention tool as part of the health class. Along with the substance program, there are other learning opportunities around Respect & Resolving Conflict, Conflict Wise, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. There is also a Parent Wise program. If you are interested in learning more about this program, feel free to contact Jill Royston at (509) 354-6186. Here is a link to the latest Newsletter from 3rd Millenium Classrooms.
