Students at Warren County took a break from the classroom today to attend the annual health fair sponsored by Ms. Strait and her Health Occupations classes. Representatives were on hand from several local community health organizations. 
Students had the opportunity to visit with representatives from the Warren County Health Department, Well Care, Child Care Resources, Department of Family and Children Services, and Tri-County Health System. Many students and faculty also took advantage of the free cholosteral and blood pressure testing provided by Tri County.The Shepard Community Blood Bank was also on hand conducting a blood drive in conjunction 
with the health fair activities. Students, faculty, and staff stepped up to donate the gift of life throughout the day. Students from Ms. Strait's Health Occupations classes served as volunteers to help facilitate the blood drive.
