1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:04,000
Active and healthy lifestyle opportunities 
abound in Klein....next.

2
00:00:04,010 --> 00:00:08,990


3
00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:15,800
I mentioned last week the American Heart 
Association presented the district with a 
Fit-Friendly Workplace award, recognizing 
the Kleinwell program.

4
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:21,300
The goals of the Kleinwell Healthy Living 
program are two improve the health and well-being 
of Klein employees...

5
00:00:21,310 --> 00:00:23,700
...provide healthy role models for Klein 
students...

6
00:00:23,710 --> 00:00:26,400
...and create a culture of wellness in the 
Klein Community.

7
00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:31,400
Each campus has a wellness ambassador and 
the activities and events offered by this 
program are second to none.

8
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:35,950
Last year, 2,500 employees maintained their 
weight during the holidays...

9
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:40,100
...more than 1,800 employees worked out 90 
minutes a week during the Spring Break challenge...

10
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:46,700
...and 847 employees lost between 9 and 24 
percent of their body weight in the Klein 
Biggest Loser challenge.

11
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:54,800
This year, the Kleinwell program, together 
with our school nurses and PE teachers are 
promoting healthy lifestyles in partnership 
with the American Heart Association.

12
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:59,100
Because, in the U.S.,we lose 1 in 4 people 
each year to heart disease.

13
00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:03,500
One way you may begin to see this take shape 
in our local schools is Jump Rope for Heart...

14
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:07,990
...while others may continue programs already 
established on their campuses.

15
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:12,800
Some of these activities include a fundraising 
component, but I want you to know our focus 
is on student wellness...

16
00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:15,990
...and fundraising is absolutely NOT a requirement.

17
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:21,700
An upcoming community opportunity is the 
2016 Northwest Harris County Heart Walk on 
October 29th...

18
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:24,400
...beginning at 8 a.m. on the Lone Star University 
Park campus.

19
00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:26,600
I hope to see you at this fun family event.

20
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:31,500
But for now, stay healthy and active! I'm 
Bret Champion and that's Klein ISD in 90 
seconds.

21
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:36,000
