Healthy Lombard would like to sincerely thank Physical Education Instructor Carrie Fernandez at Butterfield School in District 44 for participating in our G.Y.M. (Get Yourself Moving) Bag Program for 2nd graders
This program provides the opportunity for two or more 2nd graders to take home a G.Y.M. Bag each Friday so they can continue to “exercise” 60 minutes a day during the weekend. The bag contains balls, a Frisbee, a jump rope, a paddleball, recipes, a list of healthful hints, an activity booklet from Elmhurst Hospital or The BEARS, and a journal.
The students use all the items in the bag, fill out the activity booklet. They also write up what they did on the journal sheet that is then displayed either on a hallway or gym bulletin board the following week (AS SHOWN ABOVE).
This is a great activity because it involves children and parents, the left and right side of the brain, and … it’s FUN!
IF YOUR LOMBARD-AREA SCHOOL is not taking advantage of this FREE program, please ask the principal or the Physical Education Teacher to send an email to us at [email protected].
