Coach Louis and Tr. Akilah (seated)
On Thursday 15th May the JC Recreational Centre was filled with the excited sounds of 42 children on a field trip with their teachers from the Orelia Kelly Primary School in Stoney Ground. The visit was arranged by Teacher Akilah Thompson who came along with Teacher Bonetta Lashley and both of their classes as a part of their “Fitness and Health in our daily lives” studies.
Coach Louis Price talked to the children about the importance of health and fitness and put them through their paces with an exercise session that covered the three S’s recommended for optimum wellness – Strength, Stamina and Stretching.
During a break, Coach Price gave each child a small card with the Prayer of Jabez for them to memorise as a part of his Kingdom-building work. At the end of the session the children had an opportunity to play before they returned to their school.
The JCRC looks forward to more collaboration like this in the future which helps to fulfill its Mission:
“To direct and harness children’s energies into positive channels, which include organised sports, fitness classes and tutoring sessions to facilitate and enhance their social development”.
