Health Fair

Parkway West had a Health Fair on April 12, 2012. The health fair was to bring awareness to the students about STD's, eating healthy, obesity, abortions, safe sex, over-protective parents, and adoption. 

To show a way to have safe sex, they gave out condoms to the students. The table also displayed a paper which showed the correct way to put on and use a condom. They also gave options about how to get condoms by getting them sent to their houses or by going to the free clinic to get condoms. They table also had a lubricant that you can use before having sex.

The abortion table talks about how abortion is wrong. Abortion is basically taking a life. They give you other options to take instead of having to get an abortion. 

The adoption table had papers that talks about finding the right family for your new born child and how to get your life back on track after giving birth to your child and going through the whole pregnancy. In the long run, they say that it is a good thing. It is a good thing for both you and your child.

 At the STD table, they tell you about the difference between a STD & a STI. An STI is a sexually transmitted infection and an STD is an sexually transmitted disease. They also give out information to let you know how to protect yourself from both a STD and a STI. 

I think the health fair was a great way to get messages out about the topics. The papers they handed out were full of information and very helpful to answer questions that students may have had.
