In partnership with participation
The community toy box initiative.
Participation
Our local IMPACT committee partnered up with Participation (a new annual physical activity challenge that rallies communities to sit less and move more).
Playgrounds
We placed toy boxes at playgrounds within the community. This will be a great addition for our communities children to utilize while at their favorite playgrounds.
Respect
We ask that everyone respects the equipment and puts it back in the storage container when done playing with it.
Sun safety
How to protect yourself and others from the suns rays.
You and your baby or child can sunburn in less than 15 minutes (depending on the UV index value).
Babies are born without a developed skin protection system, so they burn more easily than adults.
Even children born to parents of dark skin need full sun protection.
In strong sunlight, have children wear a rimmed, breathable sun hat & sunglasses and cover their skin with clothes and sunscreen.
When applying sun screen make sure to pay close attention to areas that are more exposed like lips, face, ears, neck, shoulders, back and tops of feet.
Remember sun screen will protect against the suns harmful UV rays, but will not protect children from the heat.
