(07/27/2007)

The West Virginia Department of Education is honoring Clay and eight other county school systems for their initiatives to improve student health and wellness. West Virginia is consistently among the top three states for obese residents and students. An awards luncheon being held today at the West Virginia Cultural Center will honor Boone, Clay, Grant, Hardy, Lewis, Mineral, Monongalia, Pendleton and Wyoming counties. The awards given include the School Meals Initiative Award, Local Wellness Policy Award, and Breakfast and Lunch Participation Awards. State Superintendent of Schools Steve Paine says good nutrition is important for children to be alert and ready to learn during the school day.
