The United Way has joined forces with the Wayne
County YMCA and Honesdale Communities That Care to present Healthy
Futures.
Funded by a grant from the Blue Ribbon Foundation, Healthy Futures is
designed to combat the problem of childhood obesity by increasing the
physical activity level and nutritional awareness of children ages 5-12.
This program will be conducted at the CTC
after school sites in the Wayne
Highlands
School District and the after school
program at Wallenpaupack
Area
School District during the school
year and the summer program at the
Wayne
County YMCA.
Participating children will receive nutritional education, classes on
the importance of body image and will have the opportunity to track
their physical activity level with a goal of 60 minutes of physical
activity daily.
