Healthy NewsWorks Book Launch
Honoring the publication of
Leading Healthy Change In Our Communities 2017
You'll hear from some of the student journalists who helped write the stories of a dozen Philadelphia-area leaders who are fighting gun violence, preventing athletic injuries, promoting vaccinations, teaching squash, and working in other ways to make our communities healthier and safer. The book is the sixth in a series by elementary and middle school journalists engaged in the Healthy NewsWorks program.
