Access to Healthy Foods, Physical Activity Participation, Student Leadership,  Teamwork

Students participated in a week-long FUTP 60 bootcamp to prepare for the school year ahead. Students participated in team building, created in-class movement breaks, and prepared healthy snacks.

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

Students created in-class movement breaks that they shared with their classes. Students went back to their classes and advocated for taking movement breaks. Resources for movement breaks were shared with all classroom teachers.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students took ownership and responsibility for making positive changes in the school and in their lives. The Student Bootcamp energized the whole school and got students excited about FUTP 60.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

The class was taught by Mr. Silva, our Program Ddvisor and Dean of Students. The class was co-taught by parent volunteers and supported by our school's food service provider, Aramark.
