Impact
Texas is in the beginning stages of a three-year grant project focusing on engaging parents in middle schools. We have identified barriers, and are collaborating with CATCH, a coordinated approach to child health. Working in 10 schools, 90-days in we have parents promoting nutrition/physical activity, helping negotiate open gym before school, planning family fitness nights and health fairs, walking clubs and we are developing a parent partnering program.
