I am looking for a show that I'm pretty sure was titled "Kids 4 Health", but could also be "Kids For Health". I remember watching this show early in primary school, Kindergarten through around 2nd grade, which was over 10 years ago. It was a show about being healthy and was for kids. Since it was so long ago I don't really remember much about it, the only detail that I can remember was part of the theme song, which was just some kids singing the words "Kids 4 Health". There were other lyrics but I can't remember them. The last thing that I can remember about it is at the end of every episode a cgi duck came onto the screen and it said "Be smart, do your part."
My friends and I have been looking for this for years. We have asked many members of our old school district about and they either don't remember anything about or do remember it, but doesn't have access to the video tapes. We have tried looking online for it but we have not been able to find a single thing about it. We believe that it could have been produced locally, so if anyone is from the American South there is a chance that you might remember it. If anyone has any information please let me know. Thank you.
West Coast here, but this sounds interesting. I assume you already did, but did you contact your teacher/teacher that showed the video or principal from that school as one of the many members of your old school district?
It was shown to us in our Physical Education class so we have asked some of our old coaches. The problem is that they either don't remember it or they don't work there anymore. We thought we might be able to find it online but all we've been able to find is a couple of reddit posts about it, but no video or screenshots.

Ah got it. Did you contact those reddit users who posted about it? They may have more info but not sure

We have contacted them and one did reply. He said that he remembered watching it around 2003, he also said that he worked as a janitor for a school district that had it on tape, but they got rid of them. However, we have gotten some potentially big information on it. Turns out that the guy we talked to went to school around our area. We believe that Kids 4 Health was defiantly a part of the Arkansas School Curriculum. I do not know if it even existed in other states.

That is great to hear! Hope you can find this. I think you could contact the head of Arkansas School board or someone that works on that school board that works with distribution of films like this

It seems like that is what is gonna have to happen. We are going to try to contact some people and we are gonna try to get into our old school at some point and try to find a physical tape.

I distinctly remember a couple of other things about the intro:
-It takes place at some kind of summer camp and I remember wanting to go to it -In the "and you'll go far" line there's a 2D rocket ship that blasts off as the person says "oh now" really deep -At one point the kids in the summer camp are in a dentist or doctor's office, and I think I remember a diagram of teeth that it zoomed in on? -I think during the "cleaner world too" line they're picking up trash or something, maybe? -The kids for health logo was like half a ring, and it swung back and forth like those pendulum rides -And yes, the duck saying "be smart, do your part"
YOOOOOOO I FUCKING REMEMBER THIS! WE WATCHED THIS ALL THE TIME IN PE AROUND 1ST-4TH GRADE (2011-2014 or so).
Defo an Arkansas thing, they came on DVDs that had the Arkansas Health Board logo as the FBI warning at the beginning. I've heard nobody besides people I knew from school around that time mention this so I was elated when finding this thread. Can you link me some of those reddit threads please? I'd like to see. Good luck searching! I'd love to see this found.
That makes sense; I'm from Arkansas too. I found a couple of Arkansas PE curriculum guides that mentioned Kids for Health, but I think it's old enough that it would only be on tape.
Also if you do a Google search you can find a couple of Reddit posts, I believe they're under r/Nostalgia and r/HelpMeFind.

Hi! I've actually gotten in touch with the secretary of curriculum for the state of Arkansas and she was happy to share the entire folder of lessons with me! Here's an episode to trigger that nostalgia:
