Baby Boot Camp
Challenged Moms in Cupertino. Stroll Fit Instructor Natalie
Richter offered 3 Baby Boot Camp classes to moms in Memorial Park. Parents got a
great kick start to getting back in shape and found the classes very
challenging. The classes were funded by Lucile Packard Foundation as part of
our Fall Focus on Health. Natalie offers classes regularly - children must be
able to stay in the stroller. You can find out more about Natalie's classes

Halloween Costume Exchange
Wouldn't it be nice if your kids could just
wear last year's costumes? After all, they only wore them once. While you can't
magically make last year's costume fit again, you might find a gently used
costume for free at our costume exchange!
First
Donate your old costumes (clean and gently used) during your
classes or at the FIRST 5 Mercy Street Office at 748 Mercy Street in Mountain View
between August 6 - September 28.
Next
Come to our exchange event at: Mountain View Mercy Street FRC: Saturday September 29 from 10:00 am -12:00 pm
Note: To participate, we ask that you donate your old costume
and understand that you may not find a new one that you want to replace it
with, and we will not be able to give you your old costume back. Hopefully though,
you'll find a great new (to you) costume that your child will love.
Don't
Have a Costume to Exchange? Costumes
may be purchased for $5 from 11:30am - 12:00pm.
