Fitness Fanatics is Back!

It's that time of year again!  We hope you all had a great Christmas and a very happy New Year!! Of course, following New Years people have many hopes and goals for the year ahead.  Holly Tree is no different!

This year we have taken big leaps in the fight against childhood obesity and we plan to continue that into 2011.  We're adding more nutritional items to our school menu every week, and we're encouraging our children to get up and get moving, to have fun being active, and to take care of their bodies. We're also paying close attention to our portion sizes  to make sure that our kiddos are getting all the nutrition that they need!

Recently, Holly Tree has been named a Gold Sneaker Facility and we're proud to hold the title!  (You can read all about what it means to be a Gold Sneaker Facility by clicking here)  In fact, Holly Tree Christian Preschool is the FIRST school in the Brentwood area to bear the title! 


Our Gold Sneaker stamp of approval has come just in time for our annual Fitness Fanatics program!  Last year Holly Tree Brentwood was the overall winner out of all of our NGU centers and we can't wait to make it a consecutive year!  Our 2011 FF program will focus on family activity.  We want to encourage you to have fun and be active together!  So all of your points logged this month will be for active time together as a family.  Have a dance party in the living room, go for a walk after dinner, ride your bikes down the road, play at the park, throw the ball outside, go swimming (indoors this time of year please :) ), go hiking at one of our beautiful TN state parks!  Just get moving, and encourage your children to do the same.  

Remember, the winning family will win a free week of tuition!


Fitness Fanatics Kick Off!
