One-third of American children older than six are considered obese, so in an effort to change this statistic, the North Texas Rehab Center launched the "Change for Better Program.' 

As part of the program, health officials promote healthy lifestyles at local schools and in turn, kids collect change to help change a life for the better. This year, Archer City, Petrolia, and Windthorst are participating in the fundraiser which will benefit the Rehab Center.

This morning, each school counted its change. They get ten percent, and the school that raises the most will get to keep 20 percent of what it raised.
