Program:
                  Amber Scherber introduced the 14 OSHS students that will be participating in the marine biology field trip
       to Honduras during July of 2017. A power point presentation explained the educational benefits of the trip as well as
       the islands and reefs studied, the daily schedule, and the diver certification program. during the Q&A session that 
       followed,it was very obvious that the students are very excited and ready to go. The cost for each student is
       $3,000.00 and includes air flights, lodging, and food for the two week expedition. Several fundraisers have been
       planned to help the students defray the cost of the trip. We wish them good luck in their efforts to reach their goal.
