Body Walk’s first trip in November was to Prentiss county. Skip Glidewell booked BW for his county. We saw over 400 kids from Wheeler, Baldwyn, and Hills Chapel Elementary schools. We had great volunteers from the community. Set up was in the National Guard Armory which was wonderful as I was able to drive the truck right inside the building.
The students were third and fourth graders. They loved the Body Walk. They asked very insightful questions as they went through the exhibit. At the end, the third graders took a brief quiz on what they learned and as a group, they scored very well. There were 4 correct answers out of 5 choices and the majority of the children got three correct answers.
