Chapel School Students Participate in Spring Training Challenge

Bronxville, NY- The weather this winter may be colder than usual but fun is heating up at The Chapel School in Bronxville, NY. While many major league baseball teams head south for spring training. Forget about Florida because all the action is right here in Bronxville. Beginning Wednesday February 25th, all students at The Chapel School will be encouraged to participate in a school wide calisthenics challenge. “Spring Training” is a fun way to get everyone moving twice a day. Students will do a 5 minute calisthenics challenge at 8:15 am and another at 10:55 am every day. The challenge for their first week of training is jumping jacks.

“All the snow and below freezing temperatures have limited the time for our students to be active and outdoors. We created this challenge as way to encourage everyone to get moving and be active,” stated Mr. James Dhyne, Principal of The Chapel School. Research shows that children need movement to stimulate brain activity. Students enjoyed the time to move and burn up some energy. “This is fun!” exclaimed students. “Did you see Mr. Dhyne doing jumping jacks?” The students not only enjoyed the chance to be active but also were thrilled to see faculty and staff participate in the challenge as well. “Haha… even our teachers are exercising.”

The Chapel School and Village Lutheran Church are located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville. For more information about The Chapel School and its programs, call 914-337-3202 or visit www.thechapelschool.org.
