Teach your Class The Way
Today, more than 33 percent of children and adolescents - approximately 25 million kids - are overweight or obese. Obesity poses a tremendous financial threat to our economy and our health care system. It's estimated that the obesity epidemic costs our nation $120 billion per year in direct health care costs, with childhood obesity accounting for $14 billion of the total expenditures.
It is becoming more difficult for children to get the daily activity they need to be healthy. The CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics and Institute of Medicine recommend quality, daily physical education for all children from pre-K through 12th grade. Unfortunately, many school districts have felt compelled to cut back on physical education time and recess because of budget constraints and increased focus on mandated standardized tests.
This generation of children live a more sedentary lifestyle than any generation before them. The Kellyn Foundation offers a structured exercise program along with a positive, uplifting experience that changes the way a child looks at themselves and encourages healthy choices for a lifetime.
