About the Program:
Seventy percent of Oakton students are from low-income families. Given the established links between 1) lower income and higher obesity risk and 2) childhood obesity and long term health problems it is imperative that we employ innovative techniques to educate our children about health and nutrition and improve their access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Grant funding will support both of these objectives.
