The activities at Woods Creek Elementary School in Crystal Lake were part of the kickoff Friday for the McHenry County Department of Health, which received an $8,200 grant from the American Cancer Society to fight childhood obesity. The grant is one of 18 in Illinois to give organizations the resources to implement the Coordinated Approach to Child Health, or CATCH, program, said Beth Bostrom, health initiative representative of the American Cancer Society. Although the McHenry County Health Department received the grant, the Crystal Lake Park District will be implementing it, said Sandra Thompson, the district?s recreation supervisor. The remainder of the money will maintain healthier snack and activity options in the park district?s before- and after-school programming, Thompson said. Read Childhood Obesity
