Seminar Series Opener Provides Advice To Keep Children Active

Springbok Academy announced today a free seminar series aimed at providing information parents can use to navigate the challenging world of early childhood.

Titled “Grow Happy, Healthy Kids,” her seminar’s goal is to help parents avoid childhood obesity and the diseases that result from that. She will talk about exercise and activities parents can encourage at home to help their children stay active and healthy.

“We see the benefits that the Stretch-n-Grow program brings to the children of the Academy,” said Elizabeth Seibt, Owner/Director of Springbok Academy. “We felt it was important to share this information with the parents of the community.”
