Active Schools Getting in Gear for the 2014-15 School Year!

In most Winnebago County Elementary Schools, the beginning of August marks a very busy time for administrators, teachers, and other staff as they prepare for nearly 16,000 public, private and charter school students to enter through their doors in just a few short weeks!  re:TH!NK and Winnebago County Health Department are jumping in as well for the excitement of continuing on with sustainability and new implementation of Active School programs throughout the county.  During the 2013-14 school year, we had the opportunity to assist in the implementation of Active Classrooms in over 200 public and private school classrooms, reaching nearly 5000 elementary students in Winnebago County!

Active Classrooms Brain Break at Wilson Elementary School in Neenah, WI!

In addition to these programs, we also implemented some active recess programs, including a recess walking program at Roosevelt Elementary School in Neenah where students can earn charms for every 5 miles they walk!

We look forward to continued collaboration with Winnebago County Elementary Schools and hope to aid in the growth of the Active School programs in Winnebago County to ensure healthy places for our children to learn and grow!
