Thursday, July 14 - Harleysville, PA.
This morning, Dr. Drill. Mrs. Drill and the Drillbits embarked on a public health mission to Kiddie Academy, Harleysville.We were invited to Kiddie Academy by owner, Sean Thomas, to bring all the healthy motivation inherent to Dr. Drill Instructor Program to the students of his facility, who range in age from infants to nine years old. The DrillBits, clad in their camoflauge Zero Dark Thirty t-shirts raced proudly around the place in preparation for the healthy event, personifying the DDIP philosophy of "what you put in, you will get out!"
Training began indoors, where Dr. Drill engaged the group in a period-of-instruction on his "Four Motivating Health Tips:"
1.Use your head: Learn something every day at Kiddie Academy
2.Eat Right: "What you put in, you get out" applied to your diet
3.Exercise: Move it or lose it!
4.Work together: Teamwork makes the dream work!
The Kiddies of the Academy were loud and proud, shouting back cadences and giving their all thoughout the assembly. The group was highly-motivated and clearly grasped the concept of, "health-is-wealth."
Next, outside we went! The students took to the playground via marching cadence, "Nice and easy - NICE and SLOW...Kiddie Academy, HERE WE GO!" We conducted some rigorous physical training while the youngest recruits looked on.
To close the session, we brought the enthusiasm back indoors and reviewed the learning points of the day. Prizes were given out to the true motivators of the group; those who sounded off loud and proud, representing for their alma mater.
"1-2-3 DDIP, Kiddie Academy!"
As we loaded the DrillBits into the truck, the students could be seen crowding the windows, smiles on their faces and Dr. Drill stickers fashioned on their shirts!
