Book Drive

Do you need to clean off your bookshelves? Starting March 1st TCMS will have a book drive. All acceptable books donated will go to the International Book Project, which sends books to countries with high rates of illiteracy to teach people how to read. During March check the main lobby for the box that says International Book Project and drop your books, which need to be in excellent condition, straight in! They do not accept Outdated (before 2000) or incomplete encyclopedia sets, Religious/Evangelical Books, Magazines, or Workbooks/Prepbooks. But anything else will be gladly accepted and used for good. Bring in your books in a grocery bag with your name and 1st period teacher on it to have a chance at 5 dollars, that is right whoever brings in the most books by April 30th will win 5 dollars.

VolunTeens – Let’s Get Started!

Summer is always a great time! And, summer is an exciting time around the hospital because of teen volunteers, ages 14 - 18. At Baptist Health we call them VolunTeens. One of several purposes of the Baptist Health Lexington’s VolunTeen Program is to provide career development opportunities for members of the community interested in becoming a registered nurse or another member of the healthcare team.

Step 1: Visit www.bhlexvolunteers.com to apply. Applications open Monday, February 11th, 2019. Applications are received until April 14th, or until capacity is reached.

Step 2: Set up an interview date/time for April 2, April 3, April 4, or April 27 by calling (859) 260-2500. Calls to set up interviews are only accepted on Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm only.

Step 3: Attend Interview – even returning VolunTeens.

Step 4: Attend Mandatory Orientation on either June 5th OR June 27th. If you are unable to complete orientation prior to start date, please do NOT apply.

You will need to bring three items with you to your interview:

1. The VolunTeen Forms located at www.bhlexvolunteers.com , must be completed and signed by a parent.
2. Documentation of MMR.
3. A copy of your TB skin test administered in 2019.

Remember, before anyone can begin volunteering, each VolunTeen must attend the orientation - even returning VolunTeens.

Session One - June 10th – June 28th, 2019

So come on…let’s get started! Have your student apply now!
