Our Health and PE consultant, Josh Boutwell, had a table at the Hope in the Park event at Wright Park in Alma on September 10th. Hope in the Park was a free family event spreading HOPE on World Suicide Prevention Day. Josh provided families with free jump ropes and water while promoting physical activity in the household. Physical activity has so many benefits to our mind and bodies.
Families could sign up for a FREE physical activity program InPACT at Home. InPACT provides health information on various topics and a variety of physical activity videos that the families can do together or with their friends.
