Students at M.L. King Magnet Elementary recently participated in "Wellness Week," a week-long activity centered on health and safety. Students learned about bike safety, developing healthy habits, how to make their homes more fire safe, fitness and nutrition, and even what it's like to be in a hospital!
Kindergarten students in the photo above are dressed in hospital scrubs and have "casts" on their fingers as they go through the "Hospital Ties" module. King school nurse Stevanna Cherepski, a.k.a. Nurse Stevie, and Jennifer Hurst from Arkansas Children's Hospital (sitting on floor) lead the "lesson."
The staff at King believes that fun activities will help reinforce the message of staying safe and healthy at home and while away.
