YMCA celebrates healthy kids
The YMCA of Santa Clara County will celebrate Healthy Kids Day on April 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each YMCA will offer a wide variety of activities for children and adults that encourage healthy eating and physical fitness. Activities at the Southwest YMCA, located at 13500 Quito Road in Saratoga, will include family and youth aerobics, basketball shoots, an obstacle course in the Kids' Gym, and healthy snacks.
"Statistically, research shows that as years go by, children get less active," said Bernice Alaniz, the Y's director of marketing and membership. "This is an opportunity for children and families to find out about healthy alternatives in areas such as nutrition and exercise."
For more information, call the Southwest YMCA at 370-1877.
