The University of Nebraska at Kearney Kinesiology and Sport Sciences Department hosted 660 Kearney-area fourth graders Thursday for its 21st annual Nebraska Kids Fitness and Nutrition Day.
Kids learned about nutrition and fitness at the Health and Sports Center, Cushing Coliseum and Foster Field. The nutrition stations – MyPlate, Portion Distortion, Energy Balance and Label Logic – included learning and physical components. Participants also rotated through fun physical education games.
About 200 UNK students interacted with the children and guided them through the lessons and activities.
