Proper backpack fittings: Over the long term, researchers have noted that uneven backpack loads can alter the curvature of a child's spine and produce back pain. Is your child wearing his or her backpack correctly? Is the weight and size of your child’s backpack appropriate for your child’s body frame?

Bring your child’s current backpack to our “Healthy Kids” health class  Dr. Ruth Ann Fernandez will evaluate it for proper fit and recommend changes if necessary.

Nutrition:  Dr. Fernandez will discuss the basics of good nutrition and children's special dietary needs.

Weight and Height Check:  Dr. Fernandez will check each child's height and weight.

Posture Review:  Dr. Fernandez will review the basics and importance of proper posture in sitting and sleeping and how to use the body properly to maintain good health.
