Our Fitness Fair will consist of various Community Partners sharing information on their program and services. We will also have fitness stations with various activities for children to enjoy throughout the event.

Activity Instruction:
You will be assigned a station. Follow instructions that the organizer provides and also the station lead. In general, these are the goals for the day: to help families stay informed of programs and services available in our community; to assist families by promoting health and wellness through the power of exercise and play and; to assist children as needed in participating in fun activities.
Reflection Instruction:
In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned in to a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? How was this an example of public service?
Also, reflect on: Did you know what the Guam Head Start Program was prior to this event? Were you aware of the various services and programs our community has to offer? Are you aware that children between the ages of 2 to10 years old learn as they play? What impact do you think this Fitness Fair had on the families who attended today’s event? Did you find this event to be productive in keeping the families in our community aware of the services being offered?
