As a second year student, my classmates and I were invited to help with a health fair at West Elementary school in Cullman, Alabama. We worked with Wallace State Nursing and EMT students to teach 1st and 2nd graders many important things. We informed the children about the importance of oral health. We also demonstrated the proper brushing and flossing techniques and let each child practice. Another lesson we taught them was about good nutrition The kids loved it and had a great time interacting with us. This experience has definitely taught me the importance of working with other health care professionals to properly take care of our patients. It was such a memorable experience!
