Looking for a fun, active way to spend a Saturday afternoon? The University of Toledo Medical Center pediatric residents are hosting Spring Into Motion Day, an event filled with activities to teach children how to stay active and healthy year-round. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 31 from 1 – 4 p.m at the Ruppert Health Center.

A $1 entrance fee per child grants access to events including games and activities about nutrition and healthy choices, warm up and cool down exercises, hula hoop and jump rope contests, nutritious snacks to replenish energy, free T-shirts and one mile and half mile races with prizes awarded to the top finishers.

Participating children will also receive a free, easy-to-read book (while supplies last), courtesy of the Reach Out and Read program to help promote literacy. Representatives from Put A Lid On It will be promoting the importance of helmets and bike safety.

For more information, or to register for the event, email springintomotion2014@gmail.com.
