The West Orange Community House and Boys & Girls Club has dedicated themselves to stay fit and active during the year. This picture here shows the children at Hazel Elementary School in West Orange receiving Presidential Awards for participating in PALA (Presidential Active Lifestyle Awards). These children and the children in Washington School, Gregory School, and also Pleasantdale Elementary had dedicated 8 weeks to being active at least 60 minutes per day!
Although receiving the awards signed by President Obama were an incentive to stay active, our after school programs always try to engage the children in physical activities daily. When the weather permits the children play ball or race on the play ground. When it's too cold or rainy to go out, the staff makes sure to run fun activities in the Gyms. We care and are commited to providing children with an safe, healthy, and educational experience while attending our after school programs.
