Getting kids off the couch
During the pandemic, screens became essential to life. Now, how do you get your children active again? Many new families have joined CYOâs track and field program this year, some with little to no experience with the sport. âPeople, I can sense, are really ready to be back together; and itâs a bonus if weâre getting together to watch our kids compete in sports,â said Isaac Forquer, chairman of the CYO Track and Field Commission.

Christi Riggs is anticipating the programâs impact on its young participants.
âIâm looking forward to seeing these girls grow in their faith, in their relationships with each other, in their service to the community,â observed Riggs, a substitute teacher at Trigg County middle and high schools and the troop coordinator for the communityâs new American Heritage Girls program.
The girlsâ program and its male counterpart, Trail Life USA, are debuting next month in Trigg County.
Meetings for both groups will be twice a month at The Way Christian Youth Center on Lafayette Street.
An informational meeting for the new programs is slated for 6:30 p.m. June 14 at The Way, and Riggs said sheâd like for people to come and learn about them. Youth can sign up during the session, learn more about the programs and the cost.

Perched on a verdant hill, overlooking an evergreen lake, one couldn’t ask for a better setting for a residential school. But the pandemic forced the sprawling campus of Heritage Girls School, around 20 kilometres north of Udaipur, Rajasthan, to remain shuttered for the most part of last year.
Although students from across the country attended their online classes, almost every day, from the comfort of their homes, life was simply not the same. However, there was much rejoicing among the students when the school administration first broached the topic of reopening the institution with the parents, sometime in December last year.
