FCCLA and HOSA students from TCHS recently visited J.T. Reddick to teach 4th graders all about how our lungs keep us breathing and strong! 🌬️ These future health champions shared important lessons on how oxygen travels through the body, the benefits of staying active, and the dangers of smoking. Through fun activities and interactive lessons, they helped the 4th graders become experts on lung health and build healthy habits for life. Way to go, TCHS students! #CollaborateLearnAchieve 💙 #4theT
