Stretch for Success!
The Nutrition & Wellness Committee is looking for PARENT VOLUNTEERS to help with a NEW MORNING EXERCISE program for the students waiting in the cafeteria before school starts.
We are looking for volunteer parents who can offer approximately 30 minutes of their morning (7:10-7:40) to direct students in some mild-to-moderate physical activities such as morning stretches, yoga, Simon Says, and other activities. This program will run 1-3 days a week and begin in January 2010. It's going to be lots of fun and a great way to promote health. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please email Patty Butler: pattywbutler@yahoo.com
