Fit Kids

Date: The program is broken up into Fall and Spring semesters. Fall program begins September 17 and continues through December 17, 2007. The Spring program begins February 15 and runs through May 15, 2008.

FitKids is a Fitness Challenge to teach and encourage the benefits of physical activity and nutrition to 4th and 5th grade students, and is a positive way to aid in the fight against childhood obesity and its associated diseases. FitKids is geared to help children build self-esteem, gain confidence and reach desired goals. Teachers and students will enter into a tracking agreement to monitor the student’s continuous physical activity minutes.

Grants of $500 are given to the two classes with the most activity minutes per student, for each semester.
It is free to participate.

Each participating school will also have a free assembly to promote healthy fit kids. (Program to be conducted by Oklahoma City All Sports.)
