| PRESS RELEASE |
|
The Honeoye Falls-Lima School District invites its students, parents, staff members and members of the community to join us in celebrating Wellness Week from February 8-12 and “Live Well in HF-L.” The District and school buildings are hosting a week long celebration filled with events and multiple opportunities designed to promote healthy lifestyles and provide education on health and wellness issues facing our children and families today. Each building will host various activities for staff and students to promote wellness and healthy living. The fourth annual Family Fun Night will kick off Wellness Week on Monday, February 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the High School. This event is free and open to the public. Previous years have been extremely successful, creating a healthy experience for families to enjoy together. Last year hundreds of students, parents, staff members and members of the community joined together for an evening of wellness activities and learning opportunities, as well as healthy snacks and valuable information from various local vendors. This year’s Family Fun Night promises to be every bit as exciting! Multiple local vendors and information booths will be located in both the lobby and cafeteria. These vendors will be promoting different products and services consistent with the evening’s wellness theme. Healthy snacks, as well as chiropractor and massage services will also be available in the cafeteria. Inflatables will be set up in the A-Gym for all ages to enjoy, even High School students! The B-Gym will host the District’s “Jump Rope for Heart” fundraiser for the American Heart Association, while Euchre Games and tournament will take place in the Board of Education (BOE) Room. The pool and Wellness Center will be open for use, free of charge (on-site registration required). Outdoor activities, including Moonlight Skiing and Snowshoeing, will take place under the lights of the High School Grounds weather permitting. Additionally, a raffle for prizes donated by vendors will be held in the H.S. Lobby. Due to the large number of participants at last year’s event, the District will offer a free shuttle service between the Manor School and High School during Family Fun Night to improve upon the crowded parking conditions that occurred last year. Guests may park at the High School or park at the Manor School and take the shuttle. This event is free and open to the public. Additional activities will take place throughout the week in each of our buildings. In addition to Family Fun Night and our ”Jump Rope for Heart” fundraiser, the District will sponsor several Community Reads Initiatives, YogaKids, Martial Arts Rising Sun Academy and several other wellness related programs. The District will also encourage students to take a break and be active through No Homework Night.
