The fourth annual 5K Children’s Wellness Walk and Atlantis Charter School Health Awareness Day was held on May 5, 2007, to nurture and to educate every child in the greater Fall River area, and encourage their participation in fitness demonstrations to develop a healthy lifestyle. The walk and fair provided direct access to safety and civic personnel, fun, and interactive educational booths, spinal screening, backpack fitting and instruction as well as community participant demonstrations. The event was part of the Atlantis Charter School’s Health Awareness Day, an interactive health and fitness fair. The first  walkers to register for the Wellness Walk received a free pedometer and T-shirt.
