Virtual Health Fair

Welcome to Mercer County Schools VIRTUAL HEALTH FAIR! Good health is vital to everything we do in our everyday lives.  According to the CDC, “Healthy students are better learners, and academic achievement bears a lifetime of benefits for health. However, youth risk behaviors, such as physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary behaviors, tobacco use, alcohol use, and other drug use are consistently linked to poor grades and test scores and lower educational attainment.” We are pleased to offer you some resources for promoting a healthy lifestyle! Please take some time and visit each of the “vendors” in our Virtual Health Fair.
