The weather is gorgeous outside and kids love to head out and play ball. But, there are some important safety precautions parents should take before sending their kids out to play.
Our friends from Priority Health and Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital talked to the girls about making positive choices when it comes to fitness and taking care of their bodies.
This week on “Where You Live” we’re looking at the importance of talking to our tween and teenage girls about Inner Beauty! We hosted an event at Ferris State Univeristy -GR called, “Presenting U”. The day long event brought together many of our wonderful partners that inspired over 50 eighth grade girls to love themselves exactly the way they are. Pine Rest Christian Services and Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital sent in their experts to share hands-on, interactive ways girls can develop strong self-esteem and friendships. Priority Health taught simple ways to get the girls moving and Meijer folks shared easy ways to eat a little healthier. Ferris took time to talk about finding your “Career Color” and encouraged the girls to explore a variety of Career Pathways! The students at GRCC’s Culinary Arts program prepared a wonderful lunch for the girls and toured them through their kitchens! A real highlight was the Pure Passion for Fashion, fashion show featuring modest clothing from Meijer. The teen models from Comstock Park High School were awesome! Each girl also received an amazing tote bag packed with fun items. We’re giving some away during the show too so watch to win! It was a great event and I hope you enjoy this weekend’s show!
