When kids are active they focus more, think more clearly, react to stress more calmly, and perform and behave better in class. 

That's why it's so important that our schools offer well-designed, health and physical education (HPE) programs...and provide opportunities for students to meet the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity before, during and after school.
