The St. Paul’s Health Month activities extended to the Cobbs Cross Primary
School on Monday, as the ‘Smoothies Monday’ was held at the institution.
Health Month has been an important feature in the calendar of events planned each
year for the St. Paul constituency. It is a 10-year-old initiative introduced and
coordinated by Member of Parliament, E.P. Chet Greene
Principal of the Cobbs Cross Primary School, Gail Samuel-Walter welcomed the
event, as she said it provided ample examples to the students showing healthy
alternatives to sugary drinks.
“I wish to use this opportunity to applaud you and your team for celebrating Health
Month and for sharing smoothies with our children today (Monday) showing them
that there is a healthy alternative to sweet drinks and sodas, I know that it is a
costly venture, but I would really like to see it being done again,” Principal
Samuel-Walter stated.
During the month, ‘Smoothies Monday’ rotates among educational institutions
within the constituency.
Several clinics are also being held during the month. These include general health,
breast cancer, and prostate cancer screenings.
