Go on, get out and enjoy that spring sunshine

It’s the season to enjoy the sunshine and unplug! It is a great time for visiting a park, finding a public track or hiking to allow time for play. Meet up with friends and family for some outdoor fun recreation. I would like to encourage students to join a new team or to try an interesting hobby. Here at SSIS our after-school programs starting in April will offer CISSA basketball, track and field, and softball.

Team sports are a great way to exercise, develop new skills and lasting friendships with other teammates. Our senior school boys and girls soccer teams will put their teamwork to the test as they travel to Guangzhou for their season ending ACAMIS tournament. We are currently running the second session of our developmental basketball program.

We will start our Sabre Saturday Programs next week. Participants will be able to get moving with fundamental gymnastics, parkour, dance sports and cheerleading. If the team setting and organized sports are not the best fit then Shanghai has many other opportunities such as rock climbing, cycling or even a boxing or exercise class.

I’m always doing my best to encourage the students to take risks and try something new. As they pursue these interests the physical attributes go hand in hand with positive social and emotional well-being.

Get out and play!
