| Nurse Nancy organized a great week of Diabetes activities for students at Vern Patrick School. Monday was "Wear Gray Day" to show support of diabetes awareness. Tuesday was "Crazy Hair Day." Wednesday was "Crazy Hat Day" and Thursday was a diabetes awareness assembly and all-school walk-a-thon fundraiser. Nurse Nancy put together a traveling cart of food showing the amount of sugar in each. Many students were surprised to find out that there is a lot of sugar in foods and serving sizes can contain lots of sugar. | ||
