Money raised towards the Recess Reboot initiative will help:
- Provide the PE equipment necessary to keep kids doing what they do best – playing!
- Continue developing best in class PE curriculum for teachers at no cost
- Support the American Heart Association’s continued fight to urge lawmakers to require updated PE standards and grade-specific benchmarks
- Help ensure that the meals and snacks fed to our children during the school day meet the very best standards in nutrition
Why Recess In Schools Matter:
Research has shown that if a child is overweight by their 12th birthday, there is a 70% chance that child will be overweight the rest of their life. The simple truth is that healthy (and unhealthy) behaviors form early.
Today, about 2/3 of kids and half of adults still don’t get enough physical activity. To further complicate matters, school budgets are shrinking and many schools in our community are unable to provide the necessary recess and PE equipment to support the AHA’s recommendation of 60 minutes of daily physical activity. We can change that with the help of our Recess Reboot community partners.
Recess Reboot is an opportunity to provide much needed schools the equipment and tools necessary to promote physical activity and a healthy life style to those who may not have the opportunity otherwise. Our goal is to reach 30 (approx. 15,000 students) schools this year through our Heart & Stroke Gala campaign.
