Getting Active Before, During and After School

Getting active, developing confidence and a sense of community and discovering the mind-body connection—these are just some of the benefits our programs offer. And all of these benefits follow students back to the classroom, helping them focus and learn so they can do their best.10 returning programs and 10 new ones!2 new clubs at Alexandria’s International Academy—a special program designed for recent immigrant students—including girls’ soccer and futsal.First-time participating school Jefferson Houston K-8 will offer double-dutch jump roping, boxercise and running.Another first-timer, Patrick Henry K-8, will offer golf, pickleball, football, soccer and yoga!
