A
small group of parents and children joined Partners School Wellness Coordinator Marcia Picard at the
Talbot Middle
School in Fall River for a Family Fun Night on February 26, 2014. This program engages students and their parents in some healthy fun while learning about
nutrition and a range of community resources that they
can access to maintain or improve their health. Participants
were offered a nutrition education role-play by Saint Anne's Hospital Dietitian
Laurie Hammontree, a fun workout with Mike Ramos, and Angie Bras, as well as the chance to speak with representatives
of over twenty agencies including Greater
Fall River RE-CREATION, Child
and Family Services,

Association, HealthFirst Dental Program,
Katie Brown Educational Program, MyFallRiver.org,
Saint Anne's Hospital, South
Coast Energy Challenge, Southcoast
Hospitals, Time Exchange,
