Get Fit Guilford, a service learning event from the Youth Council, was held this past Saturday at the Ragsdale YMCA on High Point Road. Attendees learned about healthy living habits from community resources like Earth Fare, the YMCA, the Children's Museum (with its Edible Schoolyard), and the Vitamin Shoppe. The GCS students involved did a fabulous job of making this event a success. We took this photo of the events in the gym as the day was winding down. By the time we arrived, the majority of the crowd had filtered through and already participated in the informational events and demonstrations.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make this event a reality and congratulations to everyone who made the effort to attend. Service learning is an opportunity for organizers to learn from participants and participants to learn from organizers. Everybody benefits in service learning events. Guilford County Schools has an easy-to-use way for students to find out about service learning opportunities and to document their involvement online. Let's hope Guilford County just got a little healthier and we can hereby conclude that we got fit, are getting fit, will get fit, and will have gotten fit....
