LIMA, OH (WLIO) - With Thanksgiving break beginning, many students need something to do while they're out of school.
The Lima Family YMCA hosts No School Days to give kids a fun day while school's out. The program lets them play sports like soccer, volleyball, and basketball. They could also play board games, watch a movie, and went swimming. The kids were happy to have somewhere to go instead of staying at home or going outside in this weather.
"Since the recent temperatures and climate, we have a better place to do stuff, like we're able to go to the gym and play basketball instead of going outside and just freezing," said Eli Fields, 6th grader.
Kids also liked that they were able to hang out with other kids close to their age, and even make some new friends.
"I was at the gym, right, and there was this one girl, so we just started talking, we both didn't really want to do anything, so we just started talking and now we're friends," said Gage Guice, 7th grader.
Registration is still open for Friday's No School Day. You can sign up online or in person at the YMCA.
