After participating in the Health Fair, each student will be asked two recall questions and one application question in order to assess learning and evaluate our program. Name three things you learned at this year's health fair. It requires support from the community, school personnel and parents. The number of community supporters has increased from nine to forty-three and includes volunteers from hospitals and clinics,city and state offices and departments, McDonalds, Taco Bell, the University of Missouri, and other health and educational facilities, businesses, and organizations. They donate time, food, materials, and money to make our Health Fair such a wonderful experience.
Parental support is crucial.
The idea of a Health Fair originated with a group of Grant parents who wanted to help children make healthy life choices. The idea was presented to the school principal and thus began our Health Fair tradition 10 years ago. Without the support, time and efforts of our parents we would not be able to provide our students with such a valuable learning experience. Each year the Grant families are surveyed for information on talents, interests, and professions. This data helps us locate parent expertise and involve those interested in our Health Fair.
