Student Leadership

The Ezra Fitness Club and Fuel Up to Play 60 Student Ambassadors met monthly to discuss and implement ways to increase physical activity for the entire student body. Our club created and delivered fitness balls to each classroom, presented physical activity break challenges, created and implemented and first and second grade Fitness Fair with active stations, and also created other monthly challenges for home and school!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Students in our fitness club worked closely with the staff advisor to brainstorm and implement ideas to improve physical activity in our school. Students also worked with all staff members to deliver and implement challenges and ideas.
