The 3rd Grade was invited to participate in Veterans' Celebration Week at the Oregon Veterans' Home! We had a wonderful time doing some artwork and chatting with all the Veterans who were there. We were very fortunate to have this opportunity to share stories, make connections, and learn about their service. Thank you OVH staff and residents for allowing us to make such great memories!

3. The First Aid class practiced controlling major bleeds with pressure, packing and tourniquets in a simulated bleeding scenario.
