An active school recognizes the enormous benefit of physical activity in a child’s life.
It incorporates physical activity before, during, and after school for at least 60 minutes every day.
Let's Move! Active Schools focuses on five key areas:
-
Physical Education
Build physical education programs that are inclusive, effective, and engaging.
-
Physical Activity During School
Enhance existing lesson plans with classroom-based physical activity.
-
Physical Activity Before and After School
Access programming guides and toolkits for successful before and after school programs.
-
Staff Involvement
Advocate for physical activity, from program planning to day-to-day details.
-
Family and Community Engagement
Make your school your community’s center for physical activity.
