New Milford students report HOSA chapter growth, regional competition success
Summary
Students told the board their newly formed HOSA chapter grew to roughly 80 members, won second place in dental terminology at a regional competition, and advanced to nationals; they described community service visits and volunteer events.
Students and advisers described the first full year of a Future Health Occupations Students of America chapter at a New Milford school, telling the board the club grew from about 15 founding members to roughly 80 students this year and competed beyond the region.
A student speaker said the chapter “established HOSA” and won second place in dental terminology at a regional meet, which allowed the student to advance to the national competition in Tennessee. Presenters described community-service activities including visits to a local senior-care facility, making paper flowers for new mothers in the hospital and delivering care-package items.
Board members and attendees praised student leadership and the teacher adviser who helped launch the program. One board member noted the club began as a student initiative and a faculty adviser helped scale it; students credited volunteer efforts over the summer with the club’s growth.
The presentation concluded with logistical notes about planned demonstrations and field trips; no formal board action was taken on the presentation.
