Lambda Kappa Sigma and Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy Members, and Ozanam Scholars, Educate Children on Health and Hygiene
Lambda Kappa Sigma (LKS), the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, and Ozanam Scholars visited approximately 50 children of the New York Junior Tennis & Learning program at PS 219 in Flushing, Queens. LKS is committed to educating the younger generation on the importance of maintaining six aspects of their health while they are in their developmental stages: hygiene, physical health, nutrition, mental health, social health, and sleep hygiene.
The presentation included a small activity where each child wrote down an example of each health factor on a poster. LKS sisters discussed the different examples and highlighted specific hygiene practices that the students can implement in their daily routine.
