5th Grade Fitness Fun Day on May 15th

“Let’s Move York” is sponsoring a “5th Grade Fitness Fun Day” on Thursday, May 15th from 12:30-3:00 at East Hill Park in York, Nebraska. Fifth graders from Emmanuel Lutheran, St. Joseph’s Catholic, and York Elementary School will be in attendance with the objective being to expose them to the importance of staying active and making healthy snack and drink choices.

Students will participate in six different stations with three of them being informational and three being physically active. They will learn about the damaging contents of many popular drinks and snacks, where food comes from, and how much exercise it takes to burn off common snacks. All participants will be given a free water bottle and other goodies designed to encourage them to get and stay fit.

One of the highlights of the day will be a fruit and vegetable taste testing station that is being provided by LunchTime Solutions, which will begin to provide contracted food service for York Public Schools in August.

Special thanks go out to McCormick’s Heating & Air Conditioning, Eakes Office Plus, and Ameritas for helping to sponsor this important event.

“Let’s Move York” is made up of representatives from Four Corners Health Department, City of York, York General Hospital, York Public Schools, 4-H Extension Office, York County Head Start, and other organizations that are trying to provide support for children.
