Our LPN students have gone beyond the classroom this year through their HOSA Community Awareness project, “Hygiene Hub.” What started as a competition entry has grown into a meaningful mission to support members of our local community.
Throughout the school year, these students organized donation drives—one in the winter and another in the spring—collecting essential hygiene items like shampoo, first aid supplies, and feminine care products. The result? Over 100 hygiene kits assembled and donated, plus full-sized items shared with Newark’s shower outreach services.
Sometimes it’s the “small” things—a clean pair of socks, a toothbrush, a bottle of shampoo—that remind someone they matter. These students recognized that. And we couldn’t be prouder.


This Thursday!
