Prairie Elementary School first graders and Summit
Kindergartners were recently treated to their annual tour of St. Mary’s
Hospital. Mrs. Cheri Holthaus and Mrs. Brenda Kaschmitter were the
tour guides. The students were able to visit the emergency room,
the operating room, the lab, x-ray and the ambulance. Hospital staff
members did a wonderful job explaining each of the areas and allowed the
children to see equipment in action and to ask questions. They even received
a mini-cast on their fingers in ER. The students learned so much
about the hospital and can now understand how things work if they should
ever have to visit the hospital because they are sick. This tour helps
to alleviate some fears they may have. Mrs. Rehder and her kindergartners
and Mrs. Schumacher and her first graders would like to thank Mrs. Holthaus
for arranging the tour and all of the hospital staff for taking time out
of their busy day to show the children around. They would also like
to thank the kitchen staff for the yummy treats at the end of the tour.
