One of the goals for our Fuel Up to Play 60 program this year was to get more staff members involved. I found out that our speech therapist loved to teach yoga and approached her about an after school yoga club. She was overjoyed! We planned together and I cannot describe how much fun both our staff member and the children are having with our after school yoga club! I would encourage everyone to reach out to staff members and ask them for ideas and see if any are willing to help with the program. You might just be amazed at how lives can change - they certainly have at our school!

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Our yoga club began as an after school program, but our staff member is now going into the classrooms once a month to bring yoga to all of the students!!! I would never have imagined how wonderful this program would turn out and what a positive impact it is having on our school environment.
