Y Healthy Kids Day - Saturday April 27, 2013
The Y  celebraed Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, April 27, from 11 am to 3 pm, at Patriots Park, Tarrytown, NY with free community events that help families
find fun through active play and educational opportunities that inspire them to carry that spirit throughout their summer.  We thank our Event Sponsor: Stop & Shop, our Ride Sponsors: Citibank, EF Schools, Hudson Health Plan, and Wells Fargo Bank,
as well as all our vendors, artists, physical fitness folks and Y Staff!

Healthy Kids Day, a national initiative of the Y to improve the health and well-being of kids, is filled with fun, active play and educational activities that will help parents improve their kids’ lifestyles for the long term. Research shows that without access to activities that stimulate the mind and body, kids are more prone to gain weight and fall behind academically over the summer months.

There was live music, live animals, games & sports, rides for toddlers ($10 ride bracelet fee at event), face painting, dancing, and more for kids.  Parents explored health, dental, insurance, and safety tables.  Healthy food from local vendors The Cookery, Chutney Masala, and Shop Rite rounded out the day of fun in the park. For the fifth year, the Y  collaborated with the Rotary of the Tarrytowns' Duck Derby.  Thanks for attending!

A leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y holds Healthy Kids Day to teach healthy habits and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity through active play. As part of this initiative, the Y – along with hundreds of thousands of parents and kids nationwide – is taking on summer by addressing critical gaps in health and education that cause kids to be at risk for childhood obesity and suffer summer learning loss.

 Emergency Closings  The Gym (Studio A), Weight Training Center and Spin Studio are temporarily closed due to flooding.  Please check with the Welcome Desk to see if classes in those studios are running.  Most Dance classes will run and may be relocated.

It’s the Year of the Lion in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow!

The Family YMCA at Tarrytown is the producer of the elementary school version; Peter Royston is the director. Disney has chosen the Y – along with Harlem School of the Arts - to test these new adaptations of THE LION KING before they are released for other schools to perform.

The Y Gratefully acknowledges the support of the Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, the Miles Hodsdon Vernon Foundation and the Kids Club for this performance.
