Hall of Health

Purpose: Expanding Educational Services At the Hall of Health, funding will support implementation of the "Some Body!" program. This program targets students in grades 6-8 and helps them to develop a healthy body image at a pivotal time in their development. The program, which was developed by the children's Health Education Center of Wisconsin, includes an activity-based field trip program, life-size silhouettes, props and hands-on activities focusing on this educational goal. The Hall of Health will be using "Some Body!" to target adolescents, including those from minority and disadvantaged groups, and provide them with information on balanced diet and help them to set attainable physical goals.
