New city-run programs being introduced in some Winston-Salem/Forsyth County schools will provide students with a new haircut and the chance to work out on a punching bag or talk weekly
A new boxing program in Winston-Salem is hoping to curb youth violence and help prevent kids from going in the wrong direction. It's also helping families find better ways to connect with their children. The boxing gym at the Minnie Lee Davis Harris Recreation Center in East Winston is filled with activity on a weekday night. Twelve-year-old Jayla Brown is practicing her steps. "My arms were cramping for a week," she says. "It hurt . you really have to relax all of your muscles."
