🌟 Learning together, inspiring each other! 🌟
Seniors from the Clinical Internship at #CommunityHighSchool, guided by instructor Kaycee Martin, teamed up with 1st graders at #CartwrightElementarySchool recently to kick off the students’ #STEAM project on the Human Body! 🧠💪
The interns shared the 5 Keys to Wellness—sleep, exercise, healthy eating, hygiene and regular doctor visits—and led hands-on activities where these young #students practiced brushing teeth, effective handwashing ✋, exercises for a strong body 🏃♂️ and stretches for better sleep 🛌.
It was inspiring to see #students at different stages of learning working together, sharing knowledge and building healthy habits as a team! 💛
These experiences show how collaboration across grade levels can make learning fun, meaningful and memorable for everyone involved. 🌟

Recently, #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool HOSA #students partnered with #EakinElementarySchool 1st graders for the 2nd year of learning about the human body unit. 🧠💓

1️⃣ Practicing CPR ❤️🩹
2️⃣ Finding a pulse & listening to a heartbeat with a stethoscope 🩺
