The last few days in Belize have been an incredible experience for our Groton Area HOSA students. We've continued working alongside healthcare professionals in the medical and optometry clinics, seeing a variety of interesting cases while learning more about the healthcare needs of the Cow Pen/San Juan community. Some of our favorite moments have come from building relationships with community members—especially the kids who keep coming back each day to play games and spend time with us. This trip wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of the Groton Area community and our generous local sponsors. Thank you for helping make this opportunity a reality! 💚🇧🇿

Soccer will be here before we know it! There will be a parent meeting tomorrow, Monday, July 27th at the soccer fields at 7pm, for all BOYS grades 7-12 interested in playing this fall! Go Tigers! 🐯⚽️

Groton Area HOSA has officially arrived in Belize! 🇧🇿 Our team of 17 students and 10 adults is ready to serve alongside trained medical professionals, helping provide healthcare in an underserved community while gaining an unforgettable hands-on learning experience. Thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible. Follow along this week for updates!

Attention OST Parents,

I hope everyone is having a great summer. With summer approaching its ends we are asking that you please make sure by the first day of school you have your OST accounts back to a $0 balance to be able to attend the first day of school. If you don't attend during the summer feel free to reach out to Jen Kunze about updated billing as well as checking your family files on the counter as you walk in. If you have any questions regarding your billing don't hesitate to ask and we will help you out the best we can.
