Jungle's Gym

Key Center School’s community partnership with Jungle’s Gym in Kingstowne began in September 2001.  A teacher from our P.E. Department accompanies four to six students to the gym twice a week.  A ten-minute bus ride—and they are able to spend thirty minutes learning the value of exercise as well as practice their social skills in integrating with the general public.  The visits to the gym teach the students about the importance of lifelong fitness and focusing on aerobic conditioning.  For students with special physical therapy needs, the gym allows them to learn how to customize exercises for personal conditions.  These opportunities provide benefits to our students at Key Center through community integration with positive interactions and knowledge.
