Our Goals: 1. Create and sustain a community dialogue and awareness campaign that helps every individual learn to make healthy choices about what and how much they eat as well as how much daily exercise they get. 2. Encourage children to engage in healthy and productive extra curricular activities at home and at school. 3. Teach families how to prepare meals and economical family meals and snacks. 4. Showcase the wealth of community resources and personnel that can help kids and families develop healthy lifestyles. 5. Demonstrate the positive impact and benefits that participation in before and after school programs can have on children's mental health and social development.
Coming in June. Learn the healthy benefits of eating lean beef and also how to safely grill and barbecue foods outdoors all summer long - tips courtesy of the Ohio Beef Council and the Lancaster Fire Department - all on the next episode of Healthy Living for Kids.
