Members of the Controllers 4- H Club added a twist to National Reading Month during the week of spring break with readacise. Members exercised before, during and after the reading of a book.
Nicky Yeatman, OCH Regional Medical Center registered dietitian and diabetes educator, brought this idea to the club for diabetes awareness.
“They took this idea and ran with it. They have family and friends joining in," Annie Ferguson, a volunteer, said with a smile.
The club will host reading with seniors and a nutrition workshop at Starkville Manor nursing home with their grand-friend Iola Jones and other residents. March is National Reading and Nutrition Month.
