\u201cStudents worked with 11 different health care practitioners,\u201d said instructor Caitlin Munroe.<\/p>\n
Students in grades 2nd through 7th created booths of their research to share what they learned with the community. Sixty people attended the April 14 event and learned about chiropractic care, acupuncture, herbal medicines, osteopathy, dental hygiene, yoga, wilderness therapy, nutrition, pharmacy, nursing, and Hashimoto\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n
Having students work closely with local health care professionals made a big difference in their understanding of the material, Munroe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to talk with the experts gave them very specific knowledge and built their enthusiasm,\u201d she said. \u201cThey received a deeper understanding, and it showed in their research.\u201d<\/p>\n
A number of students are now interested in health care fields because of the project. Because of nutrition presentations, they are paying closer attention to better eating habits.<\/p>\n
One student did research on Hashimoto\u2019s disease, which a relative has and is hereditary.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe wanted to support her family, and also learn about it for her future,\u201d Munroe said.<\/p>\n
Students worked in small groups on the projects, and chose topics they were interested in. One group was so inspired by the pharmacy sciences, the wrote a song about it and performed it at the Health Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
