​Swish!  Zoom!  Dodge!  Stretch. Breathe…  Students at Bostonia and Madison spend quality time every other week with coaches from the City of El Cajon’s REC Department shooting hoops, kicking soccer balls, and playing dodgeball.  Hearts pump, muscles flex, and sweat pours.  But that’s not all!  Every week students also stretch, relax, and center themselves in yoga class.  Both Bostonia and Madison now have dedicated yoga rooms, complete with yoga teachers!  Ms. Genevieve (Bostonia) and Ms. Stephanie (Madison) help students control their breathing, learn poses, increase their flexibility, focus their minds, and improve their overall health and fitness.

Bostonia and Madison thank the City of El Cajon’s REC Department for helping us give students something exciting to look forward to and teachers time to collaborate.  Both schools also thank the Sonima Foundation for funding the grant that made all this health and fitness possible!

What are our next steps?  We will be adding “The Patch” obstacle course to our REC days, building core strength and balance!  Ready, set, let’s go!
