Mosby Woods' 3rd Annual Career Fair

Students learned about different careers from members of the community at the third annual Career Fair at Mosby Woods. Students talked to presenters about forensics, aviation, vlogging, occupational therapy, cosmetology, news reporting, accounting, and so much more. Thank you to all those parents, spouses, and community members that made this another successful day! A huge high-five and kudos to Ashley Dwyer, Carole Linehan, and Laura Zinn for putting together this wonderful event. Check out some photos from the day.

Poison Prevention at Home

March is childhood  poisoning prevention at home. Medications and vitamins may help keep us healthy, but more than 60,000 young children are hospitalized every year for consuming medicine when their caretaker is not looking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Check out these tips from Patient First that may help prevent medication accidents in your home.
