Chief Sealth International High School is sponsoring Healthapalooza, a health information fair for Chief Sealth students, their families, teachers and staff April 9.

Chief Sealth Administrative Secretary Marta Sanchez came up with the idea for the Healthapalooza fair as a way for the school to recognize National Public Health Week April 5-11. Details on National Public Health Week can be found at www.apha.org/programs/healthweek/.

Sixteen Healthapalooza exhibitors, including the University of Washington School of Dentistry (dental health), the Willie Austin Foundation (youth physical movement), Seattle Children’s Hospital/Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (nutrition), Asian Counseling Referral Service (emotional/mental health) and the YMCA (exercise). In addition, three Chief Sealth teachers will provide health-related science and physics demonstrations on topics ranging from motion and movement to the chemical content of junk food. Whole Foods has also donated healthy snacks for students to sample.

The event runs on Friday, April 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Chief Sealth International High School (@Boren) Commons, 5950 Delridge Way S.W., Seattle
