Saturday, March 21, 2015: 9:15 AM-10:30 AM
Convention Center: 608
Physical Activity: Family and Community Engagement
Intended Audience: Elementary
Speakers: Adrienne Moore, Up2Us National Training Team, Boston, MA; and Chellie Lafayette, Roxhill Elementary School, Seattle, WA
Students receive physical education (PE) in schools, yet many still lack the recommended amount of physical activity needed each day. This session will present a case study on how one Seattle elementary school leveraged community partners and a local university to supplement PE time with before and after school programming. Participants will learn strategies to increase the physical activity of their own students and better connect them to the sports community around them.
