Zumba at BBK's Summer Lunch Program

Tamara's First Day at the Park
 

BBK’s Summer Lunch Program distributes free healthy meals at the Belding Garcia Park Monday through Friday until August 15th.  Children have the option of choosing from a selection of great meals including ham and cheese sandwiches, pasta salads, crackers and cheese, tuna sandwiches, breads and dipping sauces, salads, fresh fruits, and more. Lunches are given out from 11:00 am-1:00 pm while other activities are going on at the park.

  

Today was a very exciting day at at the park. Children were involved in  many fun games and activities including badminton, board games, jump rope, and more. While the kids were playing, I noticed a little girl, Brandy, playing golf along the side of a t-ball game. After playing a quick game of kickball, I asked her,” What was the most exciting part of your day?” With a huge grin on her face, she said,”Coming here.”

Many of the kids attending the Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program enjoyed playing with the kites.  Since today was such a windy day, the kites were a huge success.  Pamela, a summer intern at BBK, who spent most of the day untangling the kites said, ”Although it was stressful, I enjoyed making the kids happy.”

Today was also Zumba Day. The parents and the teenagers had a great time dancing the day away, while at the same time, getting a great workout. Yoga was also a hit, a relaxing exercise that brought all the parents together. Rich City Rides came to the park and did a mini bike ride around Belding Garcia Park.  Helmets were given out while bikes were getting fixed.

Families around the Iron Triangle are invited to come to the Belding Garcia Park to participate in our Summer Lunch and Sports and Fitness Program. Come enjoy our activities Monday through Friday from 11:00 am to 1:00pm.
