CedarBridge Academy hosted a Health Fair this afternoon [Jan 31] at the Upper Floor of the Administration Building with a number of different agencies on hand to offer advice and answer questions.
A spokesperson previously said, “In an effort to encourage a healthy lifestyle, School Nurse Genny Williams-Hart, and the School Safety Committee are hosting a Health and Wellness Fair for the staff, students and their families.”
“Nurse Genny said that she chose to do the Health Fair as she observed students and teachers at CBA and realized that everyone needs to understand the importance of taking care of self.”
Ms. Williams-Hart said, “The main objective is to teach everyone about a healthy lifestyle, so there will be different agencies present to offer advice. These agencies include The DOH [Dental, CDC, to name a few], Core – Jump Rope, Argus Insurance, Health Nutritionist, Police – Action Group, and Asthma Nurse.
“Some of the checks will include blood pressure checks, blood sugar checks, weights and body fat.
“We all need to eat better, exercise more, and with the recent incidents in the high school we need to focus on assisting students with grief counseling, peer pressure and the impact it has on the young.”
