Fitness and learning go hand-in-hand
|
This summer we kicked off our Fit To Read program, an interactive Storytime, that helps keep kid's brains and bodies active.
We are proud to announce that we've created 291 new experiences for children across the Hampton Roads region through this movement-based program. The Fit To Read program keeps kids on their toes, and reading helps to prevent learning loss during the school break. This is a partnering program centered around the Kids Just Wanna Have Fun!: Activity & Coloring Book authored by Tanecia & Tamerah, a mommy-daughter dance fitness team, providing a structured, inclusive, interactive learning environment for children Pre-k - 6th grade. |
