Here’s a smile for you: During our Thursday wellness day for Explore ICT warm up, we were stretching and relaxing our minds before our workout at the YMCA. Our leader said “relax and rest for a moment.” One of the participants yelled out, “rest in peace!” Well…Yes, but no!😂

If you see us on Thursday’s at a YMCA, give a high five! Our Explore ICT program focuses on building independence and healthy lifestyles through active lifestyles while exploring our community. Learn more at https://dsswichita.org/explore-ict/
