My Students

Here are the facts: Experts believe that if obesity among children continues to increase, our current generation of children will become the first in American history to live shorter lives than their parents!! Save our children! Knowledge and reading about fun activities can help!

Our students are part of a moderate income community.

Most students come from homes where both parents are working. Our students are aged 3-8 and many experience sedentary lifestyles due to a love of video games and TV! They need to become aware of healthy, outdoor activities that are fun and accessible for them! Over the past four decades, obesity rates have soared among children of all age groups, increasing nearly five-fold among those ages 6-11. Libraries and schools must provide students with ideas and knowledge about healthy and fun activities for young students to get them up and moving!!

My Project

Imagine driving home from work and seeing children playing OUTSIDE! Bikes zooming up and down the sidewalks, children in community parks and fields playing outdoor games such as soccer, baseball, and football!! These are things of the past, and unfortunately our childhood obesity rates are rising at an alarming rate. Over the past four decades, obesity rates have soared among children of all age groups, increasing nearly five-fold among those ages 6-11. My students need 16 books that encourage them to read, be health conscious, and enjoy outdoor activities.

The indirect costs of obesity (such as missed work days and future earnings losses) have been estimated at $56 billion dollars per year.

Our children are becoming more and more unhealthy. Children treated for obesity are roughly three times more expensive for the health care system than children of normal weight. Knowledge and learning can HELP!!! hide» My students need 15+ books on a variety of healthy and fun activities for young students.
