We are starting a new club at Blanchard. Spark your interest in the life of sciences by joining the HOSA club, (Health Occupation Students of America club) The main focus of this club will be doing activities, presentations, and experiments related to healthcare that will engage the students and provide valuable insight on the healthcare industry and related science and engineering fields. Come listen to guest speakers who work in the health professions, or come for fun activities like DNA extraction. There is also the opportunity to compete in a variety of different events at the state and international level. The first meeting will be Tuesday, September 26 in Mrs. Talwalkar's room #9.
