The students have a nice track to run on, but usually lack appropriate footwear. When I was sizing the children yesterday, a child had on shoes that were a size 5. He actually needed a size 7.5. With great running shoes in the correct size, students will be able to run in comfort. All of the research shows that aerobic activity boosts academic performance. My goal is two-fold, help students be active and fit AND help boost the neurons in their brains to improve their learning. By running 1-2 miles in short bursts during the day, they will be better able to focus in class as well.
