Congratulations to you all! Your support and participation helped to get one more healthy tool into the hands of our children and learn to know that their health is important.

All the participating kids received a back pack full of goodies. Other prizes were awarded to the participating students with the most stamps.
A Mighty "Thank You" to:
- Our local businesses who have very generously sponsored and donated prizes so that we can encourage those students who went above the rest in staying active and helped stamp the children’s passports all summer long.
- Multicare and Valley Medical who funded this program with the knowledge that more active and educated children make healthier choices, which will help curb the rate of childhood obesity.
- The Cities of Kent and Covington who partnered full force to provide many of the activities that kept the children active.
We'll see you next year!
