Forestville Elementary Students were treated to an amazing educational experience yesterday. Students filled the gym during their normal PE time and were involved in activities and information about Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Students from K through sixth grade were able to ask questions and most importantly learn how to prevent Type 2 diabetes. The class was lead by Emily Boynton who is the Development Assistant for JDRF. Emily worked with Forestville's head of physical education, Mr. Mitch Carl to carve out time and make the session a success! Winning prizes capped off the day! To demonstrate the impact of the day the sixth grade class that I visited lined up after the Emily was done speaking to ask even more questions! Forestville will tie the mission of JDRF with its Turn Off TV Week begging in May. For information about pledging monies for students participating, please email me at 5birdsva@gmail.com.
