Why add fitness to the academic process?  It’s more than just keeping kids fit.

Not only are we facing grave challenges in our quest to develop strong reading and literacy skills among our students, children are less fit and have a wide range of attention and behavioral issues we must accommodate. A fit child is better prepared to learn.  Our less-fit students must battle lethargy, fatigue and a physically induced lack of focus.  They often suffer from ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, possible drug use and other dangerous habits – or are at risk to one day make poor choices in that direction.  Brain research shows a direct connection between movement and balance practice to reading success, increased confidence-self esteem, stress reduction and mind-body health.  Eye-tracking and patterning inherent in interactive video games also provides valuable skill practice necessary for reading and math success.  New discoveries in the science of exercise and the brain link movement to great opportunities to reach at-risk students
