Heartworks 21 Century Community Learning Center’s Afterschool Program in Bayboro. “Ms.
Yolanda”, as the children affectionately call her, leads two sessions of ‘Kids Zumba” each week.
One for students in grades K-2 and another for students 3-8. Zumba is a combination of dance and
exercise movements done to lively music. Ms. Cristiani participated in a special training course to
be able to offer the “Kids Zumba” at Heartworks. Enrichment activities like Zumba, Go Far Running
and Organic Gardening are offered to the Heartworks kids as an exciting means to fitness and good
nutrition. “On fair weather days when the Zumba music is blasting outside it is hard to keep all the
children from joining in. It is the wonderful volunteers like Ms. Cristiani that keep our program fresh
and fun,” said Heartworks Prgram Director, Cathy Cox.
