Area Health Students Attend National Competition

Three students and their chaperone, Mrs. Sue Meusel from the Health Occupations Program at the Jo Daviess Carroll Area Vocational Center in Elizabeth, IL, attended the National Health Occupations Students of America Competition in Nashville,TN on June23-28, 2009.

While at the national conference they interacted with approximately 4,200 Health Occupation Students from around the nation as they competed in their selected contest; Health Education. The students prepared a lesson plan and taught it to the preschool class at the vocational center. They were judged on their presentation of the plan and the video of the class they taught.

During the conference, they also had the opportunity to obtain valuable information through educational symposiums. They stated that it was a wonderful trip and they are looking forward to working in the health care industry and using their knowledge and skills that they gained through the HOSA program.

The students would like to thank their home school districts, the AVC board and donors from their communities that supported them in paying for their trip. They extend special thanks to Sue for chaperoning the trip for them.
