High School Students Benefit from Walking ProgramKARNES CITY HIGH SCHOOL | KARNES CITY, TEXAS
Karnes City High School participated in a partnership formed with Texas AgriLife Extension- Karnes County through a physical activ-ity curriculum called Walk Across Texas. All high school students and staff members received a free pedometer and were asked to track the number of steps they took over eight weeks.
Meredith Carter with AgriLife Extension reports that everyone was excit-ed about the opportunity to increase physical activity levels and teach-ers noticed an increase in attention span in their students after the walks. Great Job Meredith!!!
Think Pink Event
On October 28th 42 women converged to participate in the “Think Pink Event” at the Methodist Activity Center in Bellville, Texas. The event was the result of the Friend to Friend program which was adapted by Texas AgriLife Extension Service to assist with increasing the number of women meeting the American Cancer Society screening standards. The event was co-sponsored by Texas AgriLife Extension Service, the Department of State Health Services, Bellville General Hospital and The Rose. In addition to sponsorships, the event received donations from a host of community supporters. At the end of the “Think Pink Event”, 33 women received a clinical exam from the Nurse Practitioner and a referral to get a free mammogram. On October 29th and November 2nd , 33 women received mammograms from The Rose. The results clearly indicate the impact of the event. The “Friend to Friend” program will not only make a difference butt will ultimately save lives.
Great Job Michelle !!!!
