On November 12th, 99 HOSA members, along with Mrs. Kacer & Mrs. Hopper, attended HOSA Night at the Rockets. We were able to sit in on a panel of physical therapists who work with the team, followed by a Q&A. We got to attempt free throws on the court, and a few even made it! After we grabbed some food and did a little shopping, we watched the Rockets win! See the fun here: HOSA Night At The Rockets Video

HOSA members gathered together to spread holiday cheer by creating personalized Christmas cards for the Adopt a Grandparent organization. This initiative aims to brighten the spirits of local elderly residents, many of whom may feel isolated during the holiday season. Each card was crafted with care, featuring festive designs and heartfelt messages that conveyed love and warmth. The members took great delight in this activity, knowing that their efforts would bring joy and connection to the community's seniors.
