Dissecting a Career Plan

Health occupations students at Sikeston (Mo.) Career and Technology Center participate in Project Hope (Helping Other People Everywhere). The goals of the program include building leadership skills in high-school students and developing healthy peer relationships through mentoring fifth- and sixth-graders. To expose younger children to careers in health occupations, the Sikeston students held a dissection learning lab (right). Among other activities, they hold an oral health education program near Halloween, and deliver hand-made blankets to cancer patients being treated at the Missouri Delta Cancer and Infusion Center.
