Striding for Better Health Club |
|
Striding for Better Health is a club through which P&S students can volunteer to help children from the Washington Heights Community become more physically active and health conscious. The goal is to have fun and foster an enjoyment of exercise, as well as promote healthy habits, particularly in kids who may be at risk for obesity and other health problems exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle. "Runs" take place Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and can include anything from jogging to tag to dodgeball. A weekend field day and a family day are other possibilities. The children who participate in the program are drawn from the Police Athletic League after-school program, which is conveniently located just a few steps away along the 169th street side of the Armory. Striding for Better Health is a great way for the P&S student to get a little exercise, play games with kids, hone their teaching skills, and have a positive impact on the community. |
