Nassau University Medical Center interns visited first- and second-grade students at Barnum Woods Elementary School on April 29 to host interactive workshops on health, safety and nutrition.
The interns, who are studying to become pediatricians, discussed important safety tips with students on how to protect their bodies. Such tips included wearing a helmet when riding a bike and wearing a seatbelt when in a car. They also spoke about healthy eating habits; emphasizing students should eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid unhealthy foods and beverages such as soda and candy.
To stay healthy, the interns spoke with students about the importance of exercise, whether jogging, running or participating in sports activities with friends. Students enjoyed the interactive workshops and learned a wealth of knowledge about proper health and wellness.
