Last week, students in Health Science Theory did research on a chosen medical condition or procedure, then creatively displayed them using pumpkins. It may be safe to say that pumpkin-ology is their new favorite medical specialty area! Teachers and staff at OHS voted and it was a close race. We would like to congratulate Sophia Marino and Rilei Hass for "Best Overall", with their Cesarean Section pumpkins. Ella Welch, Kaitlynn Sullivan, and Larymie Thompson took the award for "Most Creative", displaying a patient with a Myocardial Infarction undergoing open heart surgery. Then "Most Disgusting" goes to Elyse Gunter and Mina Webb with Hematemesis. The pumpkins were obtained from the Orangetoberfest pumpkin scramble, so we would also like to extend a thank you to the city of Orange for the donation.

Mrs. Psencik shared information on the education and licensure requirements of both SLP's and SLPA's and their job duties.
