Last year was the first year of BMI testing done for the 1st grade at the Baker School and at all DY schools.
The results give us a snap shot of the health status of our children at one point in time last year. I personally feel that the testing gives us valuable data in which we should commence discussions about our communities health, our attitudes and what if anything can we do to affect change if we beleive change needs to occur.
Please email this site with your thoughts in an effort to open up some dialog about this important discussion.
Within MA the rate of overweight and obese children is approx. 30% to 33%!
