Kidz Corner- March Madness

By: Taren Burtucci

Welcome back to Kidz Corner, where the kids of Swift tell you what they’re really thinking! In the spirit of March Madness, I talked with our favorite kids about sports and wellness.

First, I asked the kids of Swift what their favorite basketball teams were. Surprisingly, most of them did not have a preference. However, there still is a loyal Suns fanbase embedded within Swift!

Next, I asked what their favorite sports are. Basketball and soccer are tied for the most popular sport. Tennis, Gymnastics, Track, and Volleyball are also tied, but slightly less popular.

I then asked whether they prefer team or individual sports. Overall, most prefer a team sport—because what’s the fun in playing by yourself?

I then asked, “Is dance a sport?” This controversial question has divided many, but at Swift, we, for the first time ever in Kidz Corner history, have a unanimous opinion: NO. (Sorry dancers!)

Finally, I asked the kids of Swift what their favorite healthy habits are. Here are some of their answers:

• Riding bicycles
• Sleeping 8 hours — this was met with cheers. 
• Exercising
• Eating healthy — they recommend salads.
• Walking your dog.

If you would like to keep mentor-based programming available to the kids of Swift, where they can do more activities related to exercise and healthy habits, feel free to donate at https://www.swiftyouth.org/donate.html.

​Thank you for all of your support!
