Chapter Spotlight: Jefferson High School HOSA celebrates Valentine's Day

The HOSA students at Jefferson High School took the opportunity on Valentines Day to teach 3rd graders about the human heart. The students listened to a short presentation on the heart, its purpose, and ways to keep it healthy. Afterwards, students located and counted their radial pulse. Everyone had a great time using a Just Dance video to get their heart rates elevated and then palpating their radial pulses again to compare & using a stethoscope to listen to the "lub-dub" of their own hearts. HOSA students handed out human heart coloring sheets and heart shaped lollipops.
