Let the Spirit Move You!

The Move to the Groove fitness program has five components that educate students on healthy choices, dietary habits and fitness habits.

How can you get your students active?
It is easy! Just get moving….

Jumpstart

Students start their day by walking/playing in the gym under adult supervision.

Recharge the SPIRIT

Four times throughout the day, students and staff recharge themselves with 3-5 minutes of active movement. For two of these, music can be played over the PA system and movements taught by a teacher.

Move to the Groove

One morning recess per week a teacher will “move to the groove” with students on the playground to approved music.

The Beat Goes On

Students, with parental assistance, will record their minutes of home activity. As minutes accumulate, incentives can be earned. Since parents are role models for their children, parents are encouraged to be active as well.

Nutritious Nibbles

Schools can purchase nutritional analysis software and post the nutritional values of what they serve in the cafeteria.

Only 21% of young people eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day and nearly half of all vegetable servings are fried potatoes.
