Coloring Contest/Naming Contest for Kindergarten through 5 th Grades
CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs has a new family member… the Mako
robotic surgical assistant. We are asking for all local students from Kindergarten through 5 th
grades to enter a coloring sheet and come up with a name for our new robot. Students should
work with their teachers to enter their submissions. The top 5 finalists will be shared on
Facebook, and the community will vote on the winning name. The winner will get to meet the
robot, have a pizza party, and we will post their photo in the newspaper with the robot and our
Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Chris Meltsakos, who will be using the robotic assistant to work on
patients’ knees. We look forward to all of the great ideas. Please note March 15 deadline.

throat, loss of taste or smell, chills, muscle pain or headache, or diarrhea, please call your
