Obesity Programs Tie Garden City Students to Fitness
In Garden City USD 457, hundreds of students from Charles Stones Intermediate to elementary schools take part in wellness programs to fight childhood obesity. Nutrition director Tracy Johnson notes 18 percent of early childhood through sixth graders are overweight and 24 percent are obese, with state data showing higher rates among low income families. The district maintains a USDA mandated wellness policy with school wellness champions leading running and walking clubs to promote activity. Brian Ceniceros, once reluctant, now joins the running club voluntarily.
