Healthy School Programs
Due to the recent spotlight focused on childhood obesity we are partnering with the Oconee County School System to educate and encourage children to make better decisions and lead a healthier lifestyle. Since 2003 the number of overweight or obese Georgia children has more than doubled from 16.4% to 37.3%. The Healthy Schools Program will develop an action plan to incorporate physical activity and healthy eating behaviors among students and staff. A committee has been formed and public input is encouraged.
