Scavanger Hunt, Fiesta, and John Ball Zoo

Tuesday April 5, 2011
Spring Break seemed like a perfect time for everyone to get together and go on a Scavenger Hunt around Hudsonville, have a Fiesta Lunch at Mr. Tom's house, and take a trip around the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. Everyone had a great afternoon together!

Boys and Girls Club of Holland

February 25, 2011 everyone was more then ready for something fun in the middle of the dreary winter days. The Hudsonville High School Special Education program as well as other Special Educations programs in the area all gathered together for food and fellowship at the Boys and Girls Club of Holland. This was a great way for everyone to spend time together with friends from around the area.

Special Olympics Basketball at Hope College

On January 24, 2011 students and their families drove out to the DeVos Fieldhouse at Hope College to compete in their first Special Olympics Basketball game of the season. This year HHS has two different teams, the Maize and the Blue team. Each team got to play two games and show their Eagle Pride.

Mrs. Cunningham's Baby Shower!

A few weeks ago the Special Ed program came together to plan an amazing baby shower for Mrs. Cunningham. Students brought in donations to help purchase several new books for little Miss. Baby Cunningham. Everyone enjoyed terrific food, played some baby shower games and of course showered Mrs. Cunningham with not only gifts but love.

Shredding the Ice

Mr. Tom and Mrs. K. took all of the boys and girls in the MERIT Program ice skating at Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids. It was a lot of our first times shredding the ice :) It was so much fun! After we ice skated we went to the Dog Pit for hot dogs. It was very yummy!

Thank you Mr. Tom and Mrs. K. for such a fun night!

CPR....are you prepared?

Mrs. Bocks, our P.E. teacher, instructed the MERIT Program about what to do if a person is not breathing or is choking.
In order to be prepared for life threatening situations you should know these life saving steps.

• Check the scene. Is it safe?
• Are you ok? Are you ok?
• Call 911
• Head tilt/chin lift (this opens the airway)
• Look, listen, and feel for breathing for 5-10 seconds
• 2 breaths (if chest does not rise, retilt and give 2 more breaths)
• Check pulse
• Check for severe bleeding
• Begin rescue breathing or CPR
