Utah Action for Healthy Kids is poised to fight obesity in San Juan schools under a $22,000 grant from the Kellogg's Corporate Citizenship Fund.

"School wellness is just one of many priorities schools work to address. It's a real struggle," Julie Metos, chairwoman of the Utah Action for Healthy Kids Team, said in a prepared statement. "But, with our help, the crucial job of making healthy foods and daily physical activity available to every child will move forward."
