At Owosso Public Schools, being a District of Opportunities means creating meaningful experiences that help students learn, grow, and thrive, which includes opportunities for our future healthcare professionals, too.
Through an exciting partnership between Owosso Public Schools, Baker College, and the University of Michigan-Flint School of Nursing, school nurses Carissa and Emily are helping bring real-world health education directly into our elementary classrooms.
Future nurses are gaining hands-on experience in community and public health education while making a meaningful impact on our youngest learners. From sleep hygiene, dental health, and nutrition to bike safety, playground safety, stress management, and more, nursing students are delivering engaging, age-appropriate lessons that help students build healthy habits, make informed choices, and develop skills that last a lifetime.
Community partnerships and interactive learning create healthier students and a stronger future for everyone!
