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 class 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.)
