Did you know that a startling 18.9% of Ohio’s third-graders are overweight? Studies show that children who are overweight tend to remain overweight as adults and struggle with health issues, like diabetes and high cholesterol, much earlier in life.
How can you help? Join us at the Statehouse in Columbus on November 16th as we talk to lawmakers about health education standards and other ways we can work together to reduce childhood obesity.
State education standards provide a definition of quality for local schools. By establishing a minimum level of health education, Ohio can be confident that all students are receiving basic health information, while still giving schools options for greater achievement.
Agenda
8:00 -- Registration
9:00 – Welcome and Logistics
9:30 – Group meetings
10:00- Noon - Attend scheduled meetings with Legislators and/or Aides
12:30 – And Now What? How to promote a healthier Ohio back home
2:00 – Press Event (tentative)
Register today! It will take all of us—parents, concerned citizens, schools and decision-makers—working together to improve the health and future of Ohio’s children!
We hope you’ll join us and be the voice of Ohio's kids at the Statehouse!
