Park Elementary School has received national recognition for its commitment to healthy living. On Thursday, November 19, Park hosts a Community Health and Safety Fair. More than thirty service organizations are attending with the goal of teaching parents and students safety-related tips. Door prizes include items such as bike helmets, smoke detectors and first aid kits.
Park Elementary School has been recognized by former President Bill Clinton and officials from the American Heart Association for several health-related initiatives, including a snack bar serving only nutritious items. Checks and weight management assistance are furnished to staff members and a number of after-school exercise options are in place to increase physical activity, promote fellowship and help manage stress. The activities vary in their degree of difficulty to meet the needs of all staff members.
