Each February, teachers and families across the country are encouraged to participate in Active Classrooms Month. The event will introduce ways to integrate movement into the classroom and demonstrate the positive impact it has on young people. We will share resources and tools to make it easy for teachers and parents/caregivers to use movement activities with their students/children.

Classroom physical activity helps students feel better, work together as a team, reduce anxiety, and maintain focus all while helping them learn and retain academic content. In addition, movement can be a great classroom and virtual learning management tool for teachers and caregivers by energizing tired or distracted students and calming students to prepare for learning and testing.

Show your commitment to participate by registering HERE and you will be eligible to win weekly prizes!
