Parkway Haves a Health Fair

     On April 12, 2012 Parkway held a health fair with the seniors presenting information dealing with their senior projects that they worked very hard on. During the health fair it started off with one of the seniors presenting a PowerPoint presentation to us, and having a speaker come talk to our class. His topic was on drugs and he gave us plenty of facts, real stories, and situations about the topic. Then we headed down to the auditorium where about 7 seniors had tables set up showing us and letting us know about different things dealing with health.

    One table was on healthy eating. The girls told us information and facts about fruits and veggies, calories, promoting healthy eating habits and they even offered us a piece of fruit. Another table was on Abortion from sources to adoption, to DHS stations to send the children to; their goal was to stop abortion. One table was about having safe sex. They distributed free condoms going toward HIV and other sexual diseases preventions. One senior also went around to collect money going towards a stop to animal abuse. They health fair turned out to be a huge success informing other students about many things we should know for future reference.

     I honestly enjoyed the health fair here. I learned more information about doing my senior project and ways I can began earlier and get it done faster. I also learned more things on health that I didn’t know like when women get older they need to get more things checked out on there bodies more than young teens do. I would like to see another health fair held here. I want to learn even more.
