Show off your skills at MCM’s SUPER-lympics on Saturday, May 3rd! This event is sponsored in part by Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. 💥
Step inside MCM’s SUPER-lympic Village for a competition consisting of hands-on, educational games promoting both physical and mental health! The day will kick off with our Opening Ceremony, followed by MCM’s SUPER-lympic Games, where children will focus on three priorities: physical activity, healthy eating, and social/emotional health. 💪
For young children, these physical activities will improve fine and gross motor skills, spatial awareness, and agility, while older children will have the opportunity to increase their flexibility, aerobic fitness, and muscle strength. To encourage healthy eating, children and caregivers can engage in hands-on activities in the Enchanted Land of Story surrounding healthy foods, how they grow in the garden, and how they taste. Programming components such as emotional regulation and character building will also be woven into activities throughout the event. The games will wrap up with a Closing Ceremony, where the day’s participants will receive a medal. 🥇
