Summer 2024 Fit Book

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

“Don’t go through life. Grow through life.”

--Eric Butterworth

When faced with life’s decisions, there are always a variety of pathways to choose, opportunities to seek, and challenges to face. However, it is in that defining, decision-making, moment that you reveal your true character, your real you. What’s so wonderful about these moments is that you have the ability to forge your own path, take risks, absorb knowledge, and ultimately, grow as a human being. God has bestowed many blessings upon us, and His gift to allow us to genuinely experience the world, to witness its multitude of happenings, may be one of the most profound.

In many similar ways, when faced with various decisions, our Village Board and Administration, constantly and consistently looks to move our village forward, striving for continuous economic, commercial, educational, and spiritual growth. With transparent authenticity, our leadership team seeks to do all that is necessary (and more) to provide the residents of South Holland with a first-class experience, steeped in the principles and values that have made our award-winning community the crown jewel of the south suburbs.

As the summer months approach, let me recommend that you take the opportunity to make the commitment to grow your life, to take advantage of the seemingly limitless opportunities available throughout the village. Attend the annual Memorial Day parade. Host a block party in your neighborhood. Gaze in awe at the fireworks during the 4th of July celebration. Join our 5K Fun Run. Enjoy a family swim at the Community Center. Whatever path you choose, you’ll be rewarded with a sense of community and togetherness.

Speaking of the Community Center, the always energetic staff has done its own “growing” and has put together another action-packed summer of programming. From ballet to boot camp, and spinning to step aerobics, there’s plenty to do. So, whether you are young in age or young at heart, join the programs and events that will allow you to grow in mind, body, and spirit. Enjoy reviewing this edition of the FIT Book, and let me encourage you to continue your journey towards personal growth.

Have a fun and adventure-filled summer,

Don A. De Graff, Mayor Village of South Holland

YOUTH CLASSES

BALLET FOR CHILDREN

The class proposes a typical ballet class structure, following the well-renowned methods of “Vaganova” and “The Royal Academy of Dancing” academic ballet technique. The class will include Barre sequences with the following Center segments: Adagio, Allegro, Grand Allegro. The class structure will adapt to the different age and level of the participating students. Taking a ballet class is good at any age. Ballet is a weight-bearing form of exercise which strengthens muscles, promotes healthy bones and burns calories. Because ballet uses the full range of muscles, it is also great for cognitive functions such as coordination and concentration. Being an art form, ballet is great for posture, balance, elegance, and aesthetics, It can also reduce the symptoms of depression and help the individual develop a higher self-esteem. And it is fun!

Today, the lobby of the Community Center showcases the beautiful 12’x12’ “Tree of Life.” This display is a visual representation of the generosity and commitment to the relentless pursuit of improvement desired by South Holland’s residents and businesses. If you would like to learn more about the “Tree of Life,” or if you are interested in being a part of the legacy by making a donation, please call the South Holland Village Administration office at 708.210.2900
