Last week 20 third and fourth graders came to the School of Pharmacy for a Healthy Halloween celebration. The event combined health education with fun activities and a haunted house. The number of children affected by obesity and diabetes continues to increase each year. It is important to educate children and their caregivers at a young age to make healthy lifestyle choices.
One of the stations was about healthy hand washing. Did you know that frequent hand-washing is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick and spreading illness? When you wash your hands you should rub them vigorously for at least 20 seconds with soap and water.
Other stations included Healthy Hydration, How Sweet are these Treats, Healthy Exercise and more.
