Spring, 2022 - Recess with Active Plus

Recess as a kid was the most magical time of the school day! For many young students, this is the time of day they most look forward to. However, this can also be a time when children feel most left out, or are the least active. 

Active Plus is thrilled to be working with two schools this Spring to keep all children involved, working collaboratively during recess. Our Structured Recess Program is currently taking place at PS 196 and PS 006 in the Bronx, New York. The goal of this program is to motivate, guide, and educate 100+ kids on the importance of physical activity through tailored lessons during their recess time. The Active Plus team will provide structured physical activities including various sports and creative games that will build teamwork and improve health.  

Our goal is to also train school staff so they can incorporate this program in the future, providing students with optimum benefits. This is a sustainable effort that will ensure a variety of impactful physical activities.
