Trooper Michael Landers of the Ohio Highway Patrol wasn’t writing tickets on this day, but he left a lasting impression to the children and teens who took the wheel of a distracted driving simulator at a Mahoning Valley Healthy Kids Coalition Fitness & Safety Fair event at the Southern Park Mall in Boardman.
Free nutrition and fitness program for preschoolers and their parents
The Mahoning Valley Healthy Kids Coalition, led by Akron Children’s, is conducting a free “Eat Healthy, Be Active Parent/Child Program” in 4 locations starting this week. The program includes 6 weekly, 1-hour classes where parents and their preschool children gather for fun games, lessons and prizes designed to teach the importance of physical activity and nutrition.
