Description

The Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges will celebrate Healthy Kids Day® - the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids - on April 20, 2024*. At Healthy Kids Day, children and families will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of healthy eating, nutrition and physical activity, mental and emotional well-being, and developing healthy habits.

Healthy Kids Day, now in its 32nd year, is the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families. The Y hopes to use the day to get more kids moving and learning, creating healthy habits they can continue while they’re away from the classroom. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential.
