Washington Irving Fifth Annual Health Fair

 The Health Fair was held in the school's gymnasium and cafeteria.

 February 4, 2010, from 6-8pm

Different community leaders in a variety of health fields were present and had booths offering information about safety and health.   TLCC had an interactive booth teaching kids stress management skills to Washington Irving's students and families.  The TLCC booth consisted of a water table with ping pong balls labeled with different life stressors such as, "homework," "divorce," "fight with your sibling," "bullying," and "sports."   The goal for the students was to hold as many ping pong balls under the water with their hands.  At a certain point they found that regardless of whether the stressors were good or bad, they couldn't hold all of the balls under the water.  TLCC Counselors talked about good stress and bad stress and offered handouts on stress and anger management for children and their families.  Overall it was a fun night and a great success.

If your school or organization is interested in having TLCC counselors be a part of your event or help educate your students, staff on a variety of important and interesting topics please contact us at (405) 246-LIFE or email us at pbudd@tlccok.com
