Physical Activity Participation

We started a 40-minute fitness club over the winter to replace our running club during the winter months. The students come Monday and Wednesdays and each time we do a different fitness activity such as jump ropes, fitness stations, climbing wall, etc.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Our teachers and staff participate together on all the activities. The staff I work with are very supportive and the students are loving being a part of Fuel Up to Play 60.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

Once the weather warms back up we move back outside and resume our running club activities.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

The kids are more excited about physical education class and are working with the lunch program to make healthier choices.
