Ethan Falleur, a sixth grader at St. Boniface School in Fort Smith, demonstrates for First Lady Laura Bush May 2 how he enters prescription drug benefit information on the Medicare Web site for local senior citizens who are enrolling in Medicare Part D. The school’s sixth grade class has been instructed in how to help the seniors choose their plans and pharmacies. Since January the students have helped more than 200 people enroll. Escorting Mrs. Bush through the school were principal Karen Hollenbeck (from left), Arkansas First Lady Janet Huckabee and U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings.
