Tips for staying Active During the Summer!

While the end of the year marks a time for celebration, it's also important to remind your students to stay active over the summer. Did you know that only 47% of students get an hour a day of physical activity during the summer? That's what a recent survey (2018) by the YMCA and the American Academy of Pediatrics found, and this inactivity can contribute to summer weight gain.

Help keep your students healthy this summer by sharing these resources from the SPARK Blog with parents and summer programs in your area -- and make sure to fit in time for activity over your summer break too!
