This is was a way to raise money for the Leukemia and lymphoma society, a society The HOSA chapter had become attached to. Last year the chapter go to participate in light he walk, this year everyone in the HOSA chapter took the time to decorate a box, and set it out at local stores, and even in the classrooms. We all voiced the important of raising money for this cause, and allowed all to participate in good that came from helping. Need a Band-Aid? St. James HOSA, started off by selling first aid kits. These kits included one for car, pets, and even large kits for the house! The prces ranged anywhere from twelve to forty dollars, Our goal was to promote 2 healthy and safe outlook for our community, with the handy kits that could be stored in cars and other convenient places. With the money we raised half of it when to further help our community, by going to the leukemia and lymphoma society, the rest of the profits went to HOSA to help continue to raise money for states. ‘Trunk of Treat In addition to getting involved with the community, HOSA was asked to participate in trunk or treat, at the school on Halloween for younger kids. This event, involved St. James extracurricular activities to decorate a car for the Halloween night. This even allowed all children the come a trick or treat without the dangers concerning Halloween night. With the help of teachers and administrations, for watching over the event to ensure event was going smoothly, they were also encouraged to bring their children. A huge turnout of children showed up got some candy and played games. HOSA was excited to have three cars their and really be involved with not only children, but other students of the school.

HOSA was educated by a former member, about families living in poverty are being negligently | poisoned. "Help for Flint” goal is to deliver over 1200 gallons of clean water to this area, and HOSA was determined to get the word out the high school so we could all come together to achieve this goalObserving the HOSA club at St. James high school during the 2015-16 school year reviled how many students are dedicated to the future of medicine and professionalism. In the start, students are able to find a competition that suits them. The students who participate are able to excel, and share a life changing experience with member of the group who support and help one another. The group is ran by two very passionate advisers Maryam Fischer (an athletic trainer) and Michael Chapman (and EMT), and without their hard work and dedication to the students involved, HOSA would not be the same hosa~
