April 7, 2008 - From hip-hop dancing to tae-kwon-do and yoga, Boght Hills Elementary School students exercised their bodies and minds during the school’s annual Learning Enrichment Day in late March.

The day-long event, organized by PTA members Claudia Stinton and Katie Owens, provided students with rich and varied experiences to address their physical and emotional needs and promoted healthy lifestyles.

Students engaged in Radio Disney’s motivational children’s fitness program, “Move It!” and ate healthy snacks and extra-healthy lunch options. They also learned about the importance of dental health from a local dentist and the negative effects of smoking on the body from Albany Medical College students. In addition, students brought in something meaningful to them and talked with their class about what makes them feel good.

“My thanks go to the students, staff and volunteers for a tremendous day of health and wellness that our students are still talking about and acting on today,” said Boght Hills Principal Kim Greiner.
