Physical Activity Participation

FUTP 60 students organized a Balance and Flexibility Class before school to get students moving and ready to learn at school. We invited a local fitness center instructor to come lead K-6 students in an optional yoga class for half an hour before school. The class was advertised as a fun way to develop flexibility, coordination, and develop confidence. We had over 150 students attend the class!

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students are asking for more! Parents have asked where students can take local yoga classes in the community.
