Mayor's initiative to help youth ages 5-14

The United States Conference of Mayors and American Beverage Foundation have awarded a $15,000 grant to the Mayor's Math & Fitness Boot Camp as part of the 2022 Childhood Obesity Prevention and Environmental Health and Sustainability Awards. The Mayor's initiative will expose children ages 5-14 to age-appropriate, grade-level programs that use exercise and dance to teach mathematics. The children will be given motivational lessons that promote self-esteem, boost confidence and help participants reflect on and monitor their choices for healthy living.
