habits

12. THE HONOR: HEALTH SCIENCES
SCOUT
• Students will be awarded in
the same way as a boy/girl
scout
• In May there will be a special
assembly to award all the
kiddos to health scout status
• We hope this is a new
permanent program that
can continue with the
support of UMKC
administration
13. • Kiddos will be awarded frequently for their participation in their own health
• We also would ask some involvement with teachers and parents by
supporting kiddos
• We hope that a better educated kiddo will yield healthier life choices
