Track & Field aka "Race Class"

This week Mila finishes her fall track & field class through the Chicago Park District.

She took it at Smith Park last spring and loved it so much we signed her up again. 

For an entire hour Coach Frank keeps kids ages 3-5

running relays and obstacle courses around the gymnasium.

 Mila tries VERY hard. 

She has quite the competitive streak 

and wants to "be the leader" all the time.

Though it reportedly can be tough to get into the Park District classes,

we haven't had a problem. Mila has also taken

art & abc classes, soccer, tap dance, swimming and summer camp through CPD.

 Most classes are a small fraction of the cost you'd find 

in privately run businesses around the city.

 Sometimes you get what you pay for,

(one of Mila's arts & crafts classes was a total bust)

but overall we've been more than happy with her teachers and instruction...

…and especially with what she calls "race class!"
