Learn how one increasingly diverse elementary school that had declining test scores (particularly with boys), problems at recess, and rising obesity rates addressed these problems by implementing a comprehensive physical activity program—and gained national attention with their recess running program. Their successful strategies, results, and tips from the trenches will be shared. Other programs such as morning workouts, healthy celebrations, fitness clubs, incentive programs, community partnerships, and classroom movement activities will also be discussed.
