health and safety issues. Professionals from various health and
community organizations will be on hand to discuss the importance of
injury prevention, infant care, proper nutrition and children health
development. As well as promoting after school activities, and

participating in a “mini- boot camp” obstacle course, or try the
rock climbing wall then practice dunking with the NDAA Dunking

as many local groups showcase their dancing, karate, singing
talents.
