President’s Message

By Sharon DiMaria - President, Board of Park Commissioners

You’ll notice this icon throughout this edition of the Park District’s Program Guide. We’re hoping this draws attention to the multitude of choices your family has for physical activity and vigorous fun. This effort is part of the Park District’s participation in Schaumburg C-A-N. That’s C-A-N -- for Children, Activity, Nutrition, the consortium of local agencies promoting healthy choices to curb pervasive childhood obesity in our community. And it is pervasive. Pediatricians now are required to submit BMI figures for all kindergarten and sixth grade children in District 54. The resulting statistics are staggering. As measured by BMI, 28 percent of kindergarteners and 38 percent of sixth graders are considered overweight. BMI, or Body Mass Index, measures the age-heightweight ratio. Children are considered overweight if BMI is over the 85th percentile. It’s not just puppy fat. An overweight child becomes at-risk for health issues normally reserved for adults including high cholesterol and blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea and bone conditions. And, it probably wouldn’t hurt most of us to try some active fun. According to the 2011 F as in Fat report conducted for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Illinois ranks 23rd in the country for adult obesity. By the BMI model, nearly 64 percent of Illinois adults are overweight or obese. So when the Park District was invited by the Campanelli YMCA to learn about and tackle this community issue, we joined with School District 54, Alexian Brothers, Village of Schaumburg, Harper College and other organizations. Funded by a grant to the YMCA USA from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the project will promote healthy nutrition messages, exercise and play.

Club and others that are available free or at a nominal cost. All of the suggested C-A-N programs are clearly marked for your convenience. In additional to being more active, it’s also an opportunity for your child and family to discover new interests and socialize with others in the community. A win-win! Or tune in to WSPD-TV for an after-school viewing of G4K (Good for Kids). The show is taped in cooperation with Whole Foods Market and features healthy snacks kids can make on their own and an activity at the Park District. In other news, we’re celebrating an award from the Illinois Association of Park Districts. The Best Friend of Illinois Parks Award – Business recently was given to Links Technology Solutions, our Park Partner and technology friend since 2007. Links staff and CEO Brian Burke have provided the expertise and support for the District’s websites. We are proud Links’ substantial contribution to the District has been recognized by this statewide organization. Back this winter also are popular favorites including Mom/Son and Daddy/Daughter evenings, Santa’s arrival at the Schaumburg Regional Airport, Christmas in the Valley at Spring Valley’s Heritage Farm, Holiday House Decorating Tour, Santa home visits and other great family holiday activities. Watch for the spring program guide to be delivered in February and remember that information on all District programs, classes, leagues and special events are just a click away at parkfun.com. On behalf of the Board of Commissioners and the Park District staff, may your family enjoy a healthy and happy holiday season. Stay warm, fit and happy!

In this program guide, you’ll find a host of options including swim classes, family Fridays, sports nights, the 5K Chilly Chili, 4-6th Grade Sports

Northwest Special Recreation Association Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs

The Schaumburg Park District is a member of a cooperative agreement among 16 districts which form the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer safe, fun and quality year-round opportunities to individuals with disabilities of all ages and ability levels. Activities benefit participants through increased self esteem, physical, social and recreation skills development, improved fitness and health, experiencing new challenges, making friends and having fun! After school, evening and weekend programs feature cooperative sports and games, individuals and team sports, arts and crafts, fitness, cooking, and creative arts and drama. Camps, trips and special events are available at various times during the year. Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home district program. When registering for a program, the parent of the individual with a disability should inform the park district (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order to successfully participate in the program. District staff will then contact NWSRA for assistance. For more information, brochures may be picked up at Schaumburg Park District facilities, or at the NWSRA office at Park Central, 3000 W. Central Road in Rolling Meadows. NWSRA may be contacted at 847/392-2848 (voice), 392-2855 (TTY) or 392-2870 (fax). Check out NWSRA on the internet at www.nwsra.org or www.facebook.com/nwsra.

To assist the District in making these accommodations, contact the director before the start of the program or event to discuss accommodations for a smooth inclusion.
