Elementary school focusing on health in curriculum
BATESVILLE, AR (KAIT)- According to
the CDC, 66 percent of Arkansans are overweight, but there may be hope at one
Region 8 school who has incorporated health and wellness into their
curriculum.

healthier school for their students. The school has been deemed a Health and
Wellness Magnet School.
Eagle Mountain Magnet is one of 250
schools across the nation that was honored at the Healthy Schools Program
Forum last fall.
