Recess

Recess is an essential part of the school day and can contribute to students’ reaching the daily goal of being physically active for 60 minutes. Students that are physically active tend to have better grades, increased attendance, classroom behavior, and improved concentration.  Eat Right Philly is committed to supporting schools in providing recess strategies that maximize student health and provide moderate to vigorous physical activity opportunities for students in a safe environment.  For more resources on how you can support recess in your school, check out Eat Right Philly's Recess Resources Toolkit here.
