Summer ’26

A

Student-led Health Fair

dventist Christian Academy recently hosted its third annual community health fair. This year’s theme, Empowering Hope / Embracing Wellness, guided the day’s focus on whole-person health and community outreach.

Students in grades K–12 engaged in cross-curricular learning as they worked collaboratively to design and present interactive booths aligned with the principles of CREATION Life. Stations included plant-based cooking demonstrations, creating cards and designing a mailbox for community outreach, exploring brain health and strategies for emotional regulation, and promoting healthy environmental choices both within our bodies and in our surroundings. The school appreciates the support of Robert Henley for the innovative component of the fair, as well as Neil Hawkins for documenting the event through photo and video.

The school partnered with AdventHealth North Pinellas to provide health screenings and emergency medicine support. The event also featured local wellness vendors, including therapists offering chair massages, food trucks with plant-based options, a children’s activity zone, and speakers addressing both mental and physical health.

The health fair was held at the New Port Richey Seventh-day Adventist Church, which provided a welcoming space for guests. We are grateful for the partnership and support of Pastor Jonathan Peinado.

This experience gave students the opportunity to reach the community through the CREATION Life model while sharing messages of hope and health. We praise God for the opportunity for evangelism through our school and for the dedication of our students, staff, and community partners who helped make this event a success.
