Information from 5 Healthy Towns

Calling all teens! It’s going to be a long winter, so find some fun and physical activity by joining local teens at the Arctic Coliseum (501 Coliseum Drive, Chelsea) for free skating.

Find Your Glide, an initiative created by @5HealthyTeens at Chelsea High School, is generously supported by the Chelsea Kiwanis and the Chelsea Friends & Family Wellness Coalition. The event is for high school students ages 14-18 and takes place on Sunday, Feb. 13, from 2-4 p.m. Pre-registration is required at this link:

The 5 Healthy Teens group is a small committee of high school students who have worked on a variety of projects during COVID. Last year, they created @5HealthyTeens on Instagram to post some nutrition messages. They also worked with other local high schools to create 60-second physical activity videos that could be completed by any teen from home – no equipment needed.

“This event is for all teens in our 5 Healthy Towns,” said Sarah Tillman, Chelsea junior and member of 5 Healthy Teens. “It’s an opportunity to get out and get moving. Ice-skating can decrease your stress and improve your cardio and endurance. And it’s fun!” 

“We were happy to collaborate on this event with a sponsorship grant,” said Ruth Habrecht, chairperson of the Chelsea Friends & Family Wellness Coalition. “It’s consistent with the priority areas we established this year to promote moving more and helping teens connect in healthy ways.”

“We are very excited that our idea has become a reality, thanks in full to Chelsea Kiwanis and the Chelsea Wellness Coalition,” said Tillman. 

This initiative was created by @5HealthyTeens at Chelsea High School. The event is for high school students ages 14-18. Pre-registration is required. See article for details.
