Captree School hosts Wellness Fair
The Captree Elementary School in West Islip recently held a Health & Wellness Fair for students and staff, designed to encourage a lifetime of healthy living, as well as allay children's fears of being in a hospital. Coordinated by Captree school nurse Patricia Reimer and Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center personnel, the all-day event featured proper eating, exercise, an anti-bullying campaign, anatomy at a child's level, health games and more.
