McKenzie Health System Presents Healthy Living Together Event: Preparing for Back to School

McKenzie Health System is pleased to announce the next session of our Healthy Living Together virtual series, set to take place on August 21, 2024, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. This event, titled "Preparing for Back to School," will feature an insightful presentation by Leann M. Kerr, Principal of Peck Elementary, Title 1 Coordinator, and Curriculum Director.

Leann brings extensive experience in education and a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with the back-to-school season. Her presentation will provide valuable tips and strategies for parents, students, and educators to ensure a smooth and successful transition into the new school year. Topics will include preparing academically, emotionally, and socially, as well as addressing common concerns and setting up routines for a productive year.

"We are excited to have Leann share her expertise and insights with our community," said Nina Barnett, McKenzie Public Relations and Foundation Coordinator and Healthy Living Committee Chair. "Her practical advice and professional perspective will be invaluable for families and educators as they prepare for the upcoming school year. We believe this session will offer great support and encouragement to everyone involved in the educational journey."

The event is free and open to the public. To learn more and to register, please visit www.McKenzieHealth.org/Healthy-Living or call 810-648-6117. We encourage all community members to join us for this informative and supportive presentation.
