'Health Fairs' allows a unique dialog between parents and students. Its meant to improve student outcomes and school performances for all ages. 'Health Fairs' engages both the family and the overall community by offering an educational, festive environment in which to explore attitudes and approaches to food.
The program's goal is to help the community examine present health behaviors and attitudes towards food and to facilitate positive lifestyle changes. During this program, some major causes of obesity are covered along with steps to avoid obesity at any age. Chefsville offers activities and resources to empower parents and students. It also offers information sharing and provides additional core academic activities that will allow families to make positive health and nutritional choices.
This program focuses on understanding the effects of sugar, salt, and fat, and will allow participants to discover some of the histories about the American diet.
Medical publications and studies have shown that when students lower the amount of sugar and salt they consume there is an improve scholastic performance, attendance, focus and ability to comprehend academic material.

Activities include discovering connections between food science, social studies, fractions, and measuring as we explore the history of food systems and food migration. For younger kids this means learning about colors in food for older kids, this means understanding conversions used in measuring. This will allow the students to connect the foods they eat to their health.
