Stretch-n-Grow classes are here!
Stretch-N-Grow Stars participate in weekly sessions which include exercise, cardiovascular and strength training, fun stories and activities, lots of different types of equipment, and weekly discussions on health and related issues such as nutrition, hygiene, muscles, bones, vitamins, and safety.
Fun aerobic exercise every week, taught by a certified youth fitness instructor!
Every Stretch-n-Grow class works on strength, coordination, endurance, flexibility, balance, and agility.
Lots of fun equipment in each class including streamers, bean bags, balls, balance beam, parachute, resistance bands, scarves, obstacle courses, limbo, theme activities, and LOTS of great upbeat music.
Children learn about muscle function and learn the names of all the major muscles in their bodies.
Children receive a weekly coloring sheet on the health topic of the week.
Parents and teachers receive a monthly newsletter with tips for home, nutritional tips, fitness activities and a summary of the month's activities.
"My daughter was a Stretch-n-Grow star since she was old enough to join the program. It really helped her develop, both physically and emotionally. We are both going to miss Ms. Jennifer terribly –she has been a part of our lives for over 3 years and has been a wonderful teacher, coach and friend."
(Parent of Stretch-n-Grow Star for four years)
"My twin girls talk about exercising their muscles and foods that give them energy - it makes me think about what I've fixed for dinner!"
