Health fair



I went to the Health Fair at the school this morning. It was organized by Ocracoke Students Against Tobacco, and they did a terrific job! There were several informational booths, delicious snacks, health screenings, and activities for kids. I learned:
- sources of lead (and how to keep kids safe from it),
- correct installation of car seats,
- my blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and
- more than I wanted to know about the effects of smoking on the body (the jar of tar was especially disgusting)
...all within less than an hour!
