Sunflower County Consolidated School District students in pre-k through second grade are learning to be healthy and smart from the inside out, through a research based program called The OrganWise Guys.
With the help of such characters as Hearty Heart, Sir Rebrum “the Brain”, Calci M. Bone and the rest of the Organ Kids, students are learning the importance of making healthy choices.
As a special Christmas gift, each pre-k student received their own OrganWise Gal or Guy that looks just like them. And they are being taught that this is where their new “organs” live.
They and their families will receive literature from the program and one of the organs each month to store inside of their Gal or Guy.
The students are also being educated at school using literature, videos, charts, posters and activity books throughout the school year to gain knowledge on healthy lifestyles.
Sunflower County would like to give special thanks to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for bringing this important program to the students and parents.
