Swatting their way to victory...

The EVIT Health Foundations class held their annual, end-of-the-year Fly Swatter Tournament Championship on Wednesday.

Sharon Black and Jon Howell's classes challenged each other to the only medical terminology face-off (that I know of) that involves fly swatters. I wasn't sure what to expect when I showed up for the afternoon classes' competition, but I saw this on the white board:

And the winner, by one point ... Mr. Howell's class! (But that's ok, because Ms. Black's morning class won by five points.)

All the students had a great time and got together for a group photo:


And then we convinced Mr. Howell and Ms. Black to join in:
