The "Watchdogs and Wellness: A Healthy Tomorrow" project developed by Klungseth is a comprehensive wellness project to fight overweight and obesity issues within the Beresford community. Students at Beresford High School will mentor pre-school and elementary students, as well as the community, about outdoor physical activity and conservation. Mentoring will include topics from class (camping, kayaking, geocaching, fly-fishing, conservation, survival, etc.). The project has the potential to expose and teach students and entire families a variety of ways to increase physical activity levels in an effort to fight overweight and obesity issues. According to Klungseth, the project will also be a great opportunity for students to develop mentoring and community service skills that will serve them for a lifetime. Approximately 325-500 youth and adults will directly benefit from this project. Klungseth lives in Beresford.
