Hope all of you are

enjoying your spring time, we here at Project Life Impact definitely are. We have had a very exciting and productive month of April. We are launching two great programs that will teach students the fundamentals of a healthy life both physically and mentally. The first program is Exer Gaming with a collaboration through Med Play Technologies students at our school sites will be able to enjoy the fun of playing videos games while exercising.

The second program is our very own Impact Sports. Impact Sports is a new branch of PLI that will hold tournaments and clinics for all the major sports. The goal of Impact Sports is not only for students to improve their athletic skills with clinics and competition, but to build the students character as they learn how to interact with others, deal with adversity, and learn about

working hard to achieve their goals. Our first event is a Free Baseball Clinic for more information go to page 3. If you have questions about the programs or would like to sign

up feel free to contact us at (909) 388-1700.

A Word From Our CEO

After SchoolFun Fitness & Health Program

Exer GamingKids Get Healthier & SmarterWhen They ExerciseRecent research proves that physical activity improves the brain in many ways, even

growing new brain cells. When

kids exercise they have improved

attention. better behavior, and

they store , retrieve and process

information better. All this leads to

better grades and a more successful

life!

Our after school exercise and

nutrition program gets kids moving,

improves their health AND their

cognitive ability! So, while many

schools are cutting back on Physical

Education in order to increase

academic scores, our program

brings back exercise - after school.

This gives our students the physical

activity advantage their brains need

so they can acheive a life-time of

success!

MedPlay Technologies We specialize in using Exergames and adding fun and innovative exercise to after

school programs across the country. When our fun, video exercise games, kid

friendly coaches and unique exergaming exercise circuit are added to the mentoring

and academic programs of our after school partners, wonderful things happen. Kids

actually have fun exercising! And when exercise is fun, kids do it longer and pediatric

obesity and other lifestyle diseases are prevented or reduced. In addition, our evening

Family FitZone program teaches kids and their parents about nutrition. Families learn

together about successful methods to combat poor health in a fun and dynamic class

especially designed to fight the pediatric obesity epidemic.

Lankershim LionsLankershim had two visitors this month. The first was Ms. Tammy from Oak View Education Center, which is an alternative school. Ms. Tammy discussed the differences between her school and our school. In April we started a new sports club called “Circle Rule Football.” CRF is an amateur sport that combines football, soccer, and basketball. It’s a fast paced game that is played with an aerobics ball. The kids absolutely love it!

E. Neal Roberts KoalasThe Koalas had guests come visit them. Miss Linda and Izzy from the Desert Guide Dog organization. They informed us about the procedures, training, and importance of specialized trained dogs. All the students had a blast! Also during the month of May we will be holding Wet & Wild Days during minimum days. Finally we will be recognizing and rewarding our A-track students who will be ending their 2009-2010 school year. Hope to see you there!

Every month students highlight a country and in the month of

April we studied the Netherlands (Holland). The kids have been studying about dikes, tulips, windmills, & what kids in the Netherlands daily life is like. All through the month kids have

been studying symbols, flags, information about that country & making or coloring projects that have to do with the Netherlands.

We even have a guest speaker coming in to share the "Dutch"

language with us. Since January, we have studied Israel, China, Haiti & now the Netherlands. The students have been very excited about the program!

Norton Space & Aeronautics

Academy In April our Norton Site

started their Homework Club and learned about Earth Day. Students were taught about helping to take better care of the planet by conserving and reusing materials. Students

made crafts from items around the house, one of the

projects found us making paper mache dinosaur eggs

and learning more about dinosaurs.
