Health Literacy for the Young

Funded Feb 28, 2019

Thank you so much for your support for Health Literacy for the Young! The bookshelf has been put up and the books are getting settled in. The students began using them immediately while waiting in the health office for visits. Instead of just sitting quietly and waiting, they now have something to read and are able to relate the books to their personal health. I have also been able to go into several classrooms for health lessons and use the books as reinforcement to lessons on healthy eating, dental health, and mindfulness. The students are excited for me to come back next month and do a hands on demo with the human anatomy model. For our next lesson we are planning to use the interactive games that accompanied the model to learn more about our digestive system and how it can affect so many of our other bodily functions!

Thanks again for your generous support of my project!”

With gratitude,
