At our YMCA Health Fair, we plan to implement these standards into our events to allow the students and their parents to get the most out of this experience as they can.
HEALTH & WELLNESS STANDARDS
Standard 1
Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.
Students acknowledge personal responsibility for health promotion and/or risk reduction. They describe healthy behaviors to prevent or reduce their risk of injury and/or illness. Students list the components of health as emotional, physical and social.
2.1.1 Identify that healthy behaviors affect personal health.
Example: Describe that exercising, healthy eating, and being tobacco-free can help keep the body strong and healthy.
2.1.2 Recognize that there are multiple dimensions of health.
Example: Identify the dimensions of health as physical, mental and social.
2.1.3 Describe ways to prevent communicable diseases.
Example: Describe methods for preventing the spread of germs through food, water, air, and touch.
2.1.4List ways to prevent common childhood injuries.

2.1.5 Describe why it is important to seek health care.
Example: Describe the importance of regular dental visits, physical exams, immunizations, and eye exams, etc.
Standard 2
Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology and other factors on health behaviors.
This standard focuses on identifying and understanding the diverse internal and external factors that influence health practices and behaviors among youth. Students compare how the family, peers and media influence personal health.
2.2.1Identify how the family influences personal health practices and behaviors.
Example: Explain how a family member teaches a child about health habits (e.g., exercise together, how to properly use safety belts, etc.), and/or tell, in your own words, the physical activities that family members do individually or together to enhance their health and wellness.
2.2.2 Identify what the school can do to support personal health practices and behaviors.
Example: Describe how the peer mediation program helps to resolve conflicts on the playground.
2.2.3 Describe how the media can influence health behaviors.
Example: Describe how a nutrition-related media message can entice a person to buy that food item.
Standard 3
Students will demonstrate the ability to access valid information and products and services to enhance health.
This standard focuses on how to identify and access valid health resources. Students know who to ask for health information and health-promoting products to prevent health problems.
2.3.1. Identify trusted adults and professionals who can help promote health.
Example: Determine who to go to when you feel ill or have an injury on the playground (e.g., principal, school nurse, teacher, etc.).
2.3.2Identify ways to locate school and community health helpers.
Example: Demonstrate how to find a sign in a store window that indicates it is a safe place for children, and/or explain the actions to take to seek assistance from the school nurse.
WRITING STANDARDS
2.W.2 Write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to
develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.
