This session describes one rural small town’s 5-year process in developing a comprehensive initiative to combat youth overweight and obesity issues. The Watchdogs and Wellness Initiative started in 2008 with the Beresford School District and has grown into a six-way community-wide partnership that has reduced youth overweight and obesity rates by over 20%. The initiative now encompasses school physical education programming, before/after-school programming, and summer programming that has been specifically designed to build upon each area. (CEU)
