MCS HOSA (Future Healthcare Professionals) enjoyed a day of learning and observation on the ECU Health Campus. Students participated in the Brody Sciences Simulation Lab, observed real rehab practices, visited the Maynard Children's Hospital, toured the Ronald McDonald House, and ventured through the Brody Heart and Cancer Centers. MCS is learning by doing as students also received information about job shadowing opportunities at various ECU Health facilities.
Students worked in groups and were assigned tasks to build items such as cars, suspension bridges, free standing bridges, and ramps. Next week, Mrs. Riggins' AIG class will build a town with these items and code Spheros to navigate through the town.
Representatives from two Martin County agencies visited RHS to provide information regarding their respective careers and opportunities within their areas or work environments. Investigator M.

Students had questions answered and enjoyed learning about the intricacies of each employer.
Thank you to Mrs. Silverthorne and Mrs. Most for assisting in facilitating this event for students.
Mrs. Leggett's 6th grade Social Studies Class had special visitors today.

They even surprised us with a history lesson of ancient Egyptian medical practices and how they are similar to what we do today.
