American Legion Post 71 Makes Big Donation for HOSA Trip

Criswell Robinson American Legion Post 71 in Cabot made a generous donation benefiting a group of Cabot High School students on Thursday, June 1st. 

Members presented $610 to CHS Medical Professions Teacher Jenifer Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell is the advisor for HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America). The donation will help eight students travel to Orlando, Florida, June 20-25, to participate in HOSA Nationals.

These students qualified for nationals by placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd at state competition which was held in March in Hot Springs.

Congratulations to these students:

Janson Hubanks - 1st Place - Job Seeking Skiils and HOSA state Vice President

Brittney Abshire – 3rd Place – Job Seeking Skills
Whitney Bush - 1st Place - Medical Assistant Skills

*CHS HOSA had 11 winners and 8 will be attending nationals 

The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all health science education students, therefore, helping the student meet the needs of the health care community.

The American Legion members say they wanted to help the students get the skills and training they need to be successful after high school. They also hope their donation will encourage other organizations and businesses to donate as well.

Thank you again to the Criswell Robinson American Legion Post 71 for supporting our students!
