Healthy
Kids Day
Join us on Saturday, April 12th
Time: 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Each spring, YMCAs across the country
take part in YMCA Healthy Kids Day®.
It’s an opportunity for families
to spend fun time together while improving
their health. Children’s health
is a concern for the whole family. Parents
can be the best role models for their
kids, and kid’s health habits mirror
those of their parents. Healthy Kids Day®
provides kids and families with information
on how to be healthier in all aspects
of their lives. For the YMCA, good health
involves the spirit, mind and body. A
“healthy kid” not only eats
right, exercises and avoids unhealthy
substances like tobacco and alcohol but
also demonstrates values such as caring
for others and taking responsibilty for
improving the environment. Join the Western
Family YMCA and YMCA’s across the
country as we celebrate Healthy Kids Day®
with our community. The festive celebration
will feature exhibits, games, activities
and special visitors to emphasize the
importance of being a healthy kid.

• kids cooking demonstration
