Hannah and I have "health issues" as our topic for culturally responsive instruction. The YMCA is a community resource that focuses a lot on health and exercise. The YMCA takes the time to make sure children are getting plenty of exercise within the community, while allowing community involvement. This is a great way to improve not only a child's physical health, but their social and emotional health as well.

The YMCA hosts a Healthy Kids Day event every year. This allows children to move around and eat healthy throughout the day with their friends. Healthy Kids Day is also a day where the YMCA offers discounted prices to sport league teams, and swim lessons. (This flyer is from a different YMCA branch).

The YMCA provides hockey leagues for young children. This is a great way to help children make new friends within the community, get involved, and have exercise.
