The Lincoln Park District welcomed Lincoln’s
fifth-grade students to the annual Children’s Health Fair, held on
their indoor tennis courts. Each
school spent two hours rotating from booth to booth.
At no less than 20 different booths, students learned about
many health and safety issues, experienced different disabilities,
ran through a simulated-heart course, had a cast put on, and
observed the birth of a tornado.
Each student left with a load of new information and bag full
of goodies: handouts
from each booth, pens and pencils, prizes, and a few munchies.
