Students at Stetser Elementary School in Chester held a health fair on January 15, 2014. The 6th graders from Mrs. Robinson’s class with the assistance of Dr. Nadine McHenry Widener University education students presented their research about various health topics in an interactive health fair designed to entertain and inform the community. Principal Janet Baldwin said the purpose of the health fair was “for students to internalize important health concepts to own the information for themselves.” Lankenau Hospital “Healthy Me Lessons” brought Widener students in and the program was taken a step further. Widener students facilitated the research, provided the technology and support to mentor students at Stetser. Tuesdays and Thursdays were “Healthy Me Lessons.” Fridays the Stetser students did research for the health fair.
“The 6th grade students directed the whole thing,” said Baldwin.
