The schedule and registration form to use for the new Employee Training Course 2001 are included as attachments to this week's Friday Facts . The location is yet to be determined. A notice was received last week that Iowa Lutheran Hospital is not an option for 2001. I hope to find a new location yet this month and will put notification in the FridayFacts when a site is secured.
Additional information is enclosed.
This report on youth physical activity and sports is being touted as the first of its kind. It says the percent of children who are overweight has doubled since 1980. Currently, about 25 percent of children are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Also, daily enrollment in high school physical education classes dropped from 42 percent in 1991 to 29 percent in 1999. Koplan says that children who become overweight are setting themselves up for the lifelong task of coping with it.
