Healthy Kids Day – Take on Summer
Healthy Kids Day is the nation’s largest health day, bringing children and families together and providing the education, activities and experiences that teach good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, youth and families achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body. Come out to the Y on Saturday, April 28th to unofficially kick off the summer season! Summer is a time of active play and exploration for many kids—but not all of them. For some kids, exposure to activities that stimulate the body and mind ends with the school year. At Healthy Kids Day we will encourage kids and their families to get active and take charge of their physical and intellectual health throughout the summer! After all, playing and learning shouldn’t take a break when school does. This free event will take place at the Mt. Sterling YMCA from 9:00 am – 11:30 am on Saturday, April 28th. Scheduled activities include a “Healthy Family Home Fair” as well as several games and competitions for children of all ages to enjoy. The first 50 children to attend receive a free t-shirt.
