Stretch-n-Grow

Hi all- I just wanted to let all the co-op families know that we will be offering a short 6 week session of Stretch-n-Grow late this winter @ H’burg parks and Rec. We are in the P&R catalog, although rather hidden under gymnastics (we’re working on that!!). I’ve coached several co-op kids in previous years, but for those of who who aren’t familiar w/Stretch-n-Grow, here is a brief synopsis: we have a 30 minute class 1 time @ week. The emphasis is on learning good health habits, getting our hearts pumping and have FUN!! We cover a health topic and specific muscle each week in a very short discussion time and then we roll right into a full blown kid-specific fitness class set to music and a theme (might be sport related like a pretending to be football, basketball or ice hockey players training for the big game), a trip to Africa or Australia, A trip to the grocery store, etc. We use a variety of equipment to go along with each adventure too! The class that is being offered is on Tuesdays from 9:45-10:15 am for 3-5 year olds. If there are enough older kids interested – I’b be happy to discuss adding a 6-10 year old class on the same day from 9:10-9:40. The older classes don’t follow a story/theme as much as the younger, but they are rockin’ non-the-less!! It would be great to see some of the older kids that I coached when younger! Just let me know asap and I’ll see if its cool w/ Parks and rec! I will most likely be the instructor, but there is a chance that I’ll have another coach teaching. Regardless, we are all Youth Fitness Certified, fully insured, and CPR trained. If anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!! Thanks a bunch! Dia Russell
