PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: NURSING STUDENTS CONDUCT HEALTH FAIR
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Students from the UA Eleanor Mann School of Nursing will hold their annual Health Fair at Lowell Elementary School in Lowell from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 9. Since activities rotate throughout the day, it will be possible to observe lively interaction between nursing students and children at any time.
Nursing students plan to show the children that health can be fun while promoting healthy habits for a lifetime. Some nursing students will wield a giant-sized toothbrush to illustrate effective brushing. Others will perform as dancing fruits and vegetables to teach nutrition basics.
For the past eight years, senior nursing students have organized the spring Health Fair at local elementary schools to learn organizational and management skills while experiencing first-hand the role of nurse as teacher.
Photographers and reporters must check in at the school office to receive a visitor’s pass and to be directed to the event. The school requires that student names not be used in captions.
