CTK HEALTHY KIDS

It turns out that Childhood obesity has become a national epidemic.  64% of Americans are overweight and childhood obesity has doubled in the last 20 years.  This could be the first generation of American children to lead shorter lives than their parents. (can you believe this!)
CTK School would like to take an active stand on this critical issue. Our next Healthy Planning meeting will take place March 5th at 5:30 in the library. Please contact Tricia Vowels at Tricia.Vowels@dshs.state.tx.us or Patty Shipton 787-7641 if you have any questions or concerns regarding  healthy planning.
