Railroad Festival Queen Teaches Healthy Habits

AMORY, Miss (WCBI)-  Amory Railroad Festival Queen Chelsea Rick is more than just a pretty face. Rick is also a first-year medical student encouraging her community to get healthy.

Rick spent Thursday morning at East Amory Elementary school teaching fifth graders the “Move Your Body” dance.

The dance was made famous by superstar Beyonce and featured in the national Let’s Move Campaign video targeting childhood obesity.

In addition to teaching the dance, Rick talked to the students about making healthy food choices.

She says, “You don’t just want to make sure they are getting food. But you want to make sure they are getting the right food.

Rick will also be performing at the Amory Railroad Festival this weekend.
