SUCCESS STORIES

The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) award-ed a $50,000 grant to Wichita Park & Recreation to support summer food and health programs for local youth. The grant is funded by the Kansas Health Foundation.

“Good nutrition and increased physical activity are crucial parts of a child’s growth and development,” said Steve Coen, President and CEO of KHF. “The Kansas Health Foundation is proud to partner on the Serving Kansas Communities program to help ensure more Kansas children have access to nutritious meals during the summer months.”

Many youth eagerly look forward to summer break but recent research shows that their health may decline during the sum-mer, a result of lower activity levels and a lack of access to healthy meals.

To address that concern, Wichita Park & Recreation used the grant to provide healthy meals to youth attending recreation center summer camps and to get them involved in learning about healthy living. For example, youth planted a “children’s farm” at each center. Summer camp instructors helped them plant, water and harvest a variety of fruits and vegetables. Each child selected a plant to grow in a pot and worked his or her own garden at the end of summer.

“My kids love it,” said Suzette Manuel, whose children attended Lynette Woodard Summer Activity Camp. “They talk about how they love to see what they planted grow [on a daily basis],”

The grant also provided the opportunity for camp youth to participate in The “OrganWise Guys” program. The program is comprehensive elementary school curriculum developed by Dr. Michelle Lombardo and built around a group of engaging characters that embody the major organs of the body to teach youth about the importance of diet and exercise. A multi-media set of OrganWise Guys educational materials - including plush toys of the organs and dvds - were provided to the cen-ters to help youth learn about the benefits of healthy foods.

Register your child now to compete in the tradition-rich Greater Wichita Junior Football League (GWJFL), which has produced Hall of Famer Barry Sanders and other college and professional players such as Kamerion Wimbley, Arthur Brown and Blake Bell.

The league has 16 organizations, each of which supports multiple teams and features players in second through eighth grades. Teams such as the Bears, Bulldogs, Cowboys, Wolverines and more are located across the Wichita area making it convenient for parents, players and volunteers to participate. The GWJFL games are held on quality football fields throughout Wichita, including the aptly named Barry Sanders Football Field in north-central Wichita.

The deadline to register is Monday, Aug. 27. Please contact one of the organizational directors at wichita.gov where you can also find a list of organizations, practice sites and other key information. If you have additional questions, call (316) 268-4361.

“The kids have really enjoyed the gardening project,” said Angela Buckner, Director of Lynette Woodard Recreation Center. “They are eager everyday to do something with it, whether it’s watering the garden or helping create a tent over the garden. They also embraced the OrganWise Guys and the activities that got them up and moving,”

“One of the fundamental building blocks that Wichita Park & Recreation provides is educating our youth about why living a healthy lifestyle is important” said Doug Kupper, Director of Wichita Park & Recreation. “Not only do they learn about nutrition, the kids also learn life skills within our programs.”

Wichita Park & Recreation would like to thank the Na-tional Recreation and Park Association and Kansas Health Foundation for funding this great opportunity to educate Wichita youth.
