Please save the date for one of our favorite and most popular spirit nights. It's February 27th at Chuck E Cheese from 3-9pm. 15% of all proceeds of the night will go to Pinchbeck Elementary school. The kids always have a great time with their friends running around in this very safe environment. Come catch up with other parties while your kids play and have great food including healthy choices from the salad bar. Hope to see you there!!
Many thanks to everyone who came out to our spirit night at Glory Days. It was a huge success!!!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDS HEALTHY BODIES

Studies Show the Long-Term, Positive Effects of Fitness on Cognitive Abilities.
It has long been accepted that exercise cuts the risk of heart disease, and recent studies suggest a raft of more general benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain types of cancer and even preventing the onset of Type 2 diabetes. Now it seems that gym junkies can also expect a boost in brainpower, too.
See the link below for more information on the study: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/studies-show-the-long-term-positive-effects-of-fitness-on-cognitive-abilities/2013/12/06/b2a0bff4-5162-11e3-9fe0-fd2ca728e67c_story.html
