On January 21st, second grade students at the Willow Road School participated in a very informative program on wellness facilitated by students from Valley Stream North Jr.-Sr. High School’s Physical Education Leadership Program.
Students in Mrs. Minuto’s, Ms. Richards’ and Mrs. Sciscioli’s classes assembled in the GP room where stations were set up for the wellness event. The high school students spoke with the children about the importance of always making healthy choices. Topics included information about the five food groups and why eating healthy foods and exercising regularly contribute to a healthy and fit lifestyle. The program also stressed that every person is special and that everyone has his or her own unique bond shape.
This annual event is a highlight for the students, especially when former students return as role models to share their knowledge with the younger students.
