Happy New Year! If you’re committing to a New Year’s resolution of staying healthy this year, keep in mind of the free resources that are available to you.
All gyms at the recreation centers in the City of Alexandria, including the pool at Chinquapin Park Recreation Center, are free to ACPS staff. ACPS employees must sign in at the front desk and show their badge in order to use the facility. View a list of all the recreational centers in Alexandria.
Health and Wellness is part of the ACPS 2020 Strategic Plan. Through the plan, ACPS pledges to promote efforts to enable students to be healthy and ready to learn. Staff also need to stay healthy and set an example for their students.
Staying healthy requires a balance of physical activity and proper nutrition. ACPS Health Services Coordinator Barbara Nowak suggests using the 95210 health zip code, an easy and free online tool designed to guide your family to a healthy lifestyle.
“It is important to live a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle to improve your physical and mental health. The 95210 Health Zip Code is an easy teaching tool that promotes healthy living for kids and adults,” Nowak said.
