Functional Fitness Mondays 6:30pm-7:30pmYou may ask, “What is Functional Fitness?” Functional Fit-ness is the ability to perform normal daily activities around the house or at work, without undue fatigue. Functional Fitness may be among the latest buzzwords in gyms these days, but for good reason. It's about training your body to handle real-life situations. The great thing about Functional Fitness is that you use ordinary objects found around the home or the garage. You don’t need expensive equipment or posh gyms to get fit. Functional Fitness is a simpler ap-proach to fitness. The point is to get fit; Functional Fitness is the practice of all-round training using basic equipment in an unfussy environment. This class is opened to adults of all ages. Classes will be held at the Fridley Community Center, 6085 7th Street NE.

Help me GROWWhile all young children grow and change at their own rate, some children experience delays in their develop-ment. Special health conditions may affect children’s de-velopment, too. MN children are eligible for services in their home, child care setting or school. These services are free to all families.

If you have questions about your child’s development or if you think your child might need extra help, please contact your local health care provider or the Anoka Area Help Me Grow Central Intake at: 763-433-4888

We’re Looking for the ‘New Kids in Town!”

Fridley’s Early Childhood program wants to support all families with infants. If you have a new baby at your house, and live in the Fridley School District, we would like to add your child to our district census to make sure that you get all appropriate mailings as your child grows and nears school age. You could also pick up or we could deliver a free book for your new baby. Call us today at 763-502-5123 to let us know about the new member of your household.

Early Childhood ScreeningWill your child be attending preschool this year? Will your child be entering kindergarten fall 2014? If you an-swered yes, Early Childhood screening is for your child.

What is Early Childhood screening?Screening is an early look at how your child is growing and developing. Between the ages of 3 ½ and 4, screening can detect possible health or learning concerns, so that children can get help before they start school. Minnesota requires every child to participate in an Early Childhood Screening prior to entry into kindergarten in a public school.

Screening dates:March 18, 19, 20May 28 & 29

Appointments are necessary. To schedule an appoint-ment, please call 763-502-5123.
