The Annual FBISD ” Watching Your Wellness”  Health and Fitness Fair for students, employees, families and the community will be held in Sugar Land Town Square on Saturday March 6, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.- 

The Health Fair brings local hospitals, medical businesses, non profit groups, FBISD wellness,  student activity programs, and local municipality organizations to Town Square to share information, screenings, and demonstrations.  The Fair showcases FBISD students involved in programs encouraging youth physical activity to promote healthy living.

The Health Fair grew out of the WATCH Program observed in FBISD as WATCH Week. WATCH is an acronym for the 5 risk factors for cardiovascular health: Weight, Activity, Tobacco, Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure.  The Fort Bend County Medical Society Alliance partners with FBISD on this most important event, continuing to stress the importance of prevention.   The Fair will expand beyond this central focus to provide information on all aspects of health to benefit the employees of FBISD.

The student performances promise to delight everyone who attends.  Admission is free and open to all.

The week of March 8-12 will celebrate WATCH in every elementary campus with activities and messages that promote activity and good nutrition and heart health.
