Last month the Saipan SDA School had some special visitors from Guam. The SDA missionary staff from the health clinic flew out to give a presentation at our school and provide free health screenings for the students in grades 3 through 8. During both chapel and the health screenings, the medical staff spoke to students about the 8 laws of health. After chapel, the doctor and nurses set up stations where they could measure students body mass index, and check blood pressure & blood oxygen levels.
It was great having the medical staff from Guam come out. So many of our students bring nothing but candy to school as their lunch, so I was glad that there were more voices encouraging them to eat healthier. When we weren't working, we were giving the medical team a tour of the island.
Not many newsworthy things happen on this island, so naturally this visit made the front page of the newspaper that next Monday!
