Sussex Family YMCA held a Healthy Kids Day April 26.
For more than 30 years, Healthy Kids Day has celebrated kids’ mental and physical health, while teaching healthy habits for kids and families, encouraging active play and inspiring a lifetime love of physical activity.
L.K. Payden, community vice president for the Sussex Family YMCA, said, “Our YMCA, along with others, are here to build a healthier community, and so this is an opportunity for us to share with families and children some really cool ways to be healthy, stay healthy and just realize the plethora of resources in our community.”
