FIT Book Fall 2025 by SouthHollandIL

A MESSAGE FROM OUR MAYOR

Dear Residents and Friends of the Village of South Holland,

The best time for new beginnings is now.

Unceasingly, the fall season has always been a time of reflection and contemplation, reviewing what the spring and summer have offered and pondering what the winter and a New Year will hold. However, life is never this predictable. This is why it is so important that we remain steadfast and wide-eyed in seeking opportunities that can help better ourselves, our families, and our community. Whether it be beginning a new career, buying a house, starting a family, or joining a club, we are all faced with decisions that will influence who we become. While these choices may cause nervousness, we have to be bold, sometimes fearless, and courageous to take the first step. Because once we do, there’s no telling how far we can go!

While the Village of South Holland values tradition, the Village Board and Administration consistently seek the right set of circumstances to grow our community. As the wellknown leader in the Southland region, we continually strive to take progressive measures to solidify the foundational principles of our village…faith, family, and future. Through servant leadership, we engage in responsible decision-

making that keeps South Holland shining as a beacon for good. Take, for example, our new Family Athletic Center, the construction for which broke ground this summer. Our administration is “all in” on providing a facility for South Holland families to gather, recreate, and succeed. We made a bold choice to redefine our downtown area, and we could not be more excited!

I encourage each of you to do the same with your own lives. Reflect. Dream. Decide. Why put off until tomorrow, what you can do today? Pursue, with conviction, what matters to you, and do all you can to achieve your goals. As they say, “it takes a village…” Well, the one you call home is certainly by your side.

Our dedicated SHRS staff believes it’s important for you to make time for new beginnings, those that create good habits towards living a healthy life. This means dedicating yourself to improving your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Inside this edition of the FIT Book, you’ll find opportunities for you to begin to make the most of the precious gift that is you. Swim. Dance. Run. Sweat. Enjoy… but first, you have to start!

To new beginnings creating an even better future…

YOUTH CLASSES

BALLET FOR CHILDREN

This 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. Why is taking a ballet class good at any age? Ballet is a weight-bearing form of exercise that 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, aesthetics. It can also reduce the symptoms of depression, while developing individual expression and a higher self-esteem. And it is fun!
