Coecting Our Community with Care
A L E S SON I N GOOD HE A LTH
Kirby and Monticello High School team up to build healthy habits among students.
A recently conducted Community Health Needs Assessment unveiled a need to educate young people in our community about diabetes and other chronic disease prevention. To help meet this needǾ ndrew uƛenbargerǾ Chief Compliance ƛicer of KirbyȀ dam ClappǾ onticello igh School PrincipalȀ and ndy ooreǾ onticello igh School Health Teacher, came together to create a program that brings healthcare experts directly into the classroom. Kic(ing oƛ in late spring ǗǕǗǖǾ guest spea(ers nna CrawfordǾ ordan arney and Sara ades presented at onticello High School, with topics including good nutrition, physical activity, stress reduction and living a healthy lifestyle. Our very own pharmacist, Dan Burkybile, also presented to students this past fall. This initiative has proven to resonate with students, and the high school plans to form a health club at the start of school next fall. Kirby is thankful for this partnership with Monticello High School and looks forward to providing health education to students for years to come.
