This is really sad to hear when 18% of school aged children are obese, a precursor for obesity into adulthood (which 69% of adults are either overweight or obese). Think of all the secondary diseases that come with obesity (i.e. diabetes, heart disease, cancers, etc.).  This is the first generation of children expected to not live as long as their parents.  Do they not see the value of physical education amidst this huge problem? Successful prevention starts early.  Encourage activity.  Be responsible educators by keeping physical education in the school.  Elk River, be part of the solution not the problem! Sad...sad...sad!
