The Felicity-Franklin Middle School Youth for Justice team noticed that obesity in their school is a problem.  Their school community has a bad health image because of the obesity.  The team members wanted to do something to help their peers.

In researching the topic, the team members concluded that many adolescents are overweight.  This is a result of lack of exercise and overeating unhealthy food.  To raise an interest for healthy activities, the team organized field day for their fellow students.  At this event, the students participated in games and outside activities, engaging in exercise.

The team members created posters and announcements publicizing and explaining the event.  On the last day of school, the students participated in this event that got them exercising as well as utilizing team-building exercises. This event worked to get the students at the school excited about exercising as well as a great send off for the summer!
