The summer is in full swing and we are giving our kids every opportunity to be just that… Kids! Our focus this summer is on fitness and nutrition. We have planned a curriculum that makes both of these important concepts fun.  We hope to inspire each child and give them the opportunities to play, learn and become strong and healthy.  The children’s garden has grown above and beyond our expectations. They have harvested lettuce, tomatoes, eggplants, beans and cucumbers. They work each day to make sure the plants are thriving. They have also made salads and tasted the vegetables in a variety of styles.

The after-school children have been studying fitness and self defense. Fritzy Fulay, an experienced black belt, is working with our children once a week to teach them self-defense skills and get a great work out at the same time. They are also visiting local parks as well as making healthy snacks and learning about nutrition. This past Friday they went to a pool party hosted by our great friend Eliza Gatfield. The proof is in the pictures lots of smiles all around!
