New Session of BOKS

We will be offering a second session of BOKS starting March 5! The BOKS Program (Build Our Kids’ Success) promotes the impact that physical activity has on a child’s mind, body and spirit. The program aims to get elementary school aged children moving in the morning to help ready their brains for a day of focused learning. BOKS was founded on the principal that ACTIVE KIDS = ACTIVE MINDS. Research has shown that exercise is the single most powerful tool that we have to optimize the function of our brains. We encourage you to learn more about the BOKS program at www.bokskids.ca

Registration will begin on February 19. Online registration link will be emailed to all Grade 1- 4 families. Current BOKS students don't need to re-register just let us know that you would like to continue.

All families who want to see what their kids do in BOKS or what they will be doing if they register for Session 2, please join us Tuesday, February 26 for our BOKS Family Fitness Night! Please bring your indoor shoes, and your water bottle and be prepared to move!
