About Us:
PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
Moves and Grooves, Inc. (MAG) is
a program designed for inner-city students that will allow them
to excel both academically and socially. MAG is a non-profit
organization that specializes in physical fitness and education
under one roof. This program emphasizes the importance of teamwork,
leadership, and self-motivation through class instruction and
group activities.
EVALUATION:
After selections are made, each candidate
goes through an informal interview with MAG’s faculty
to decide which children could benefit from the program. Students
who are accepted, are notified by letter. All students who are
not accepted are encouraged to re-apply the following year or
attend our summer program.
BENEFITS:
Participants
of the MAG program are involved in tutorial sessions, community
volunteering, goal-setting experiments, fitness training, fun
and various other field activities. Those who progress throughout
this program will be rewarded publicly during our Fall and Spring
award ceremonies. During these events, students are able to
showcase their talents learned throughout the year, while others
are shown recognition for Most Improvement, Student of the Month,
and Academic Achievement. Community members, family and friends
are encouraged to attend.
