More Info: Here’s a shout out to get Missoula’s youngest citizens up and moving: Only 2 percent of the city’s high school students meet national fitness guidelines and only 11 percent meet national health guidelines for physical activity. The data come from recently released results of a groundbreaking research project and collaboration between the University of Montana and the Missoula City-County Health Department.
