A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS & REMINDERS

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month

According to the National Childhood Obesity website, in the last four decades, "childhood obesity has increased more than fourfold among ages 6 to 11. More than 23 million children and teenagers in the United States ages 2 to 19 are obese or overweight, a statistic that health and medical experts consider an epidemic. And this epidemic puts nearly one third of America’s children at early risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stroke – conditions usually associated with adulthood." Get more information about what you can do this month by clicking here!

Sports Physicals

Get your child’s sports physicals out of the way and schedule one with us soon!  Remember, all athletes need release forms signed by their doctor before they are allowed to participate.
