Cutting Edge Graphics for Future Health Professionals
Help me give my students a Cricut Maker with accessories so they can design and cut standout lettering to use for their projects and state leadership conference presentation materials.
Hippocrates wrote, “Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.” Help inspire the future doctors, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and first responders in our classroom.
My students are a diverse group of motivated middle schoolers all eager to get a jump-start on a future healthcare profession.
Through this class, I hope to empower these future health professionals to become leaders in the global health community through education, collaboration, and experience. Our purpose is to develop leadership and technical skills through project-based learning and community service projects.
My Project
Throughout the year, students participate in healthcare related activities where they will showcase their skills, knowledge, and leadership. These fall into the following categories: Health Science, Health Professions, Emergency Preparedness, Leadership, and Teamwork. Additionally, students organize, promote, and execute community service projects throughout the year, including a supply drive for a local family homeless intervention shelter, a week of action to show the dangers of vaping, a holiday and Valentine card-making activity for senior citizens, and a canned food drive for our school district food pantry.
Our class would benefit greatly from a Cricut Maker to make our displays even more professional, and this grant would allow us to cut lettering and graphics that can be used for their projects and to promote our community service projects.
We currently have a team of students working hard to prepare for our annual state leadership conference where they will compete with students across the state in various healthcare competitions. Having crisp, clean, and professional-looking cut graphics is of utmost importance to score maximum points with the judges. By participating in these experiences, students will learn more about the rapidly growing health and wellness industry and feel more empowered about their future by developing leadership skills.
