ORAN STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN SHOW ME BODY WALK FRIDAY

ORAN -- Students from Oran Elementary and Guardian Angel Schools will participate in the Show Me Body Walk on Friday at school.

Children entering the Body Walk exhibit through the mouth, wearing tags identifying themselves as a food item, such as a hamburger, slice of cheese or carrot. They are "absorbed" through the intestines and travel through the bloodstream to the heart, lungs, bones, muscles, skin and brain stations. At every station, students will be engaged in learning activities checking their heart rates, building strong bones and testing flexibility and strength.

Body Walk was coordinated by the Missouri Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Health.
