The team purchased stencils, paints and painting supplies to create beautiful floor activities in the elementary recess area. Seven new activities were created: a hopscotch, an alphabet hopscotch, a four square, an agility ladder, a bullseye, and the FUTP 60 "Jump and Move" circuit from StencilEase. The students are absolutely thrilled to play with the new games during recess. They are getting medium-to-high intensity physical activity which reflects positively on student behavior in the classroom.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

A team of 15 volunteers partnered on Paint Day to create these awesome games. Another team of parent volunteers organized a Kickoff event to train the kids on the new activities.
