Merrimack Valley, MA – April 24, 2024 – The Merrimack Valley YMCA proudly hosted its annual Healthy Kids Day on April 20th, 2024, at both the Andover/North Andover and Lawrence branches. Healthy Kids Day, a national initiative by the YMCA, aims to improve the health and well-being of children and families across the country. Programs included swim assessments, healthy meals preparation, face painting, touch-a-truck, fitness activities, and meeting the environmental police and police dog.
For over three decades, YMCAs and their communities have come together to organize free events designed to inspire kids and families to stay active both mentally and physically throughout the summer months and beyond. This year’s event was no exception, with families and friends gathering for a day filled with fun and healthy adventures tailored specifically for youth development.
