SUMMARY:Healthy Kids Day
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 27\, the YMCA of the Coosa Valley is celebrating YMCA's Healthy Kids Day  with a free community event that encourages kids in the Gadsden area to get moving and learning\, and families living healthier. Healthy Kids Day\, the Y's national initiative to improve families' health and well-being\, takes place at 1\,900 Ys and kick-starts healthier behaviors now and throughout the summer\, a critical out-of-school time for children's health.\n\n \n\nMany U.S. children do not get the daily recommended hours of physical activity and reading\, and daily amounts of healthy foods. According to the latest findings of the YMCA's Family Health Snapshot   a survey of parents that gages their children's activity levels during the school year   only 19 percent of children get 60 minutes of physical activity\, only 17 percent read books for fun\, and only 12 percent eat at least eight fruits and vegetables daily. \n\n \n\n"At the YMCA of the Coosa Valley we know parents struggle to keep their kids physically and intellectually active every day. We want to help ensure fewer kids are at risk of childhood obesity and more kids excel in school\," said Mindy Rains\, Personal Trainer\, YMCA of the Coosa Valley. "YMCA's Healthy Kids Day will get kids moving and learning while also helping families get a jump on creating a healthier summer\, and ultimately a healthier future." \n\n \n\nResearch shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities\, kids fall behind academically and gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. On April 27\, YMCA's Healthy Kids Day will help parents begin thinking early about what their kids need to grow and achieve all summer long.\n\n \n\nThe YMCA of the Coosa Valley's Healthy Kids Day takes place at 100 Walnut St in the back parking lot of the Y from 10am-1pm and features fun\, active play and educational activities\, such as a FUN RUN\, Aqua Zumba for Kids\, Face Painting\, Boot Camp\, Tumbling\, Zumbatomic for Kids\, and more.  The Chickfila Cow will be making an appearance and Gold's Gym and Buffalo Rock will be providing healthy snacks. \n\n \n\nYMCA's Healthy Kids Day is supported by the Gadsden Service Guild. The first 100 kids will get a bag full of prizes. YMCA of the Coosa Valley is proud to host representatives from Sarrell Dental\, Success by 6\, Barrie Center\, and Family Success Center and Gadsden Runners Club.\n\n\n\nYMCA's Healthy Kids Day is supported by national media partners Sprout and Lazy Town\, who are committed to encouraging kids to lead a healthy lifestyle.  \n\n \n\nFor more information\, contact YMCA of the Coosa Valley at 256-547-4947 or visit our FACEBOOK page.
