Howard McNair

With childhood obesity on the rise in the U.S., McNair came up with a unique program, "California D.R.E.A.M. (Diet Right Exercise Assessment Management)ing & See You at the Top," to help reverse the statistics. The program, which targets at-risk youth ages 13-18 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above the 30 percent range, is an interdisciplinary project that incorporates physical education, nutrition, math and science. Students will learn key behavioral changes such as increasing their consumption of water and participating in more physical activities
