Butterflies & Joey Program

Under the prescription of a physician and supervision of a licensed nurse, the Butterflies and Joey program addresses obesity and educates parents on nutrition, exercise, weight, and blood pressure. Butterflies, the female weight management program, and Joey, the male weight management program, teaches children the importance of taking responsibility for their bodies at an early age. Students participate twice a week with at least 60 minutes of extra physical activity. Nutrition and counseling services are provided once a month.
