Physical Activity Participation

Our FUTP 60 had a partnership with the Iowa Western Football team. They came and participated in recess with us and educated us about healthy eating and physical activity. We also invited them to our classroom for a Q&A session. It allowed our students to see what good role models look like and connected Iowa Western athletes with the Council Bluffs community.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

We had to find different games for all of our students to participate in. Not all students wanted to participate in football, and we had to have the student-athletes play other activities to get the entire homeroom involved.
