The students in Mrs. Schumacher's first grade class
at Prairie Elementary School would like to thank St. Mary's Hospital for
allowing us to visit them on our annual field trip to the hospital.
The children were able to visit several different areas in the hospital,
including the ambulance, X-Ray, the Lab, emergency room, operating room
and last, the cafeteria. We learned what blood looks like once it
is collected and how they take pictures (x-rays) of bones. We got
to go on the ambulance and see the things they use when they get a call
to help someone. In the ER we got to see what some of the tools that
would be used if we had to go to the ER. We also received our
very own mini-casts on our fingers. In the end we were treated to
some delicious homemade cookies and some juice from the cooks.
We would especially like to thank Mrs. Cheri Holthaus for arranging
our tour each year. It takes a lot of work to coordinate all of the
areas for a group of students to see. We would like to thank Mrs.
Brenda Kaschmitter for being a great guide as we visited each department.
Most of all we would like to thank all of the employees who take time out
of their busy schedules to tell us how things work and to answer the many
questions that first graders have. We learned a lot about St. Mary's
Hospital! Click on the photo for a larger view.
