It is our creed to give students and staff the tools and resources needed to make lifelong healthy choices. We understand the number of overweight children in California has reached epidemic levels. We acknowledge the scientific research that obese and overweight individuals are at increased risk for health problems such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease and other health concerns.
