It’s a wrap: Our largest Movement Challenge ever! That’s right, earlier this spring, an unbelievable 161 teachers participated, 3,571 brain boosts performed and 4,000+ students moved, growing new brain cells, burning off extra energy and having fun! The Move2Learn Inter-City Movement Challenge was on another level this year, and the results are in!
A huge shoutout to every teacher and student who jumped, danced, stretched and kept moving, proving once again that learning happens best when we’re NOT stuck in our seats. Because movement isn’t just fun—it’s science. It helps with focus, energy and brain growth.
The friendly competition is a hidden gem of our programming and a gateway to a culture of movement. As one teacher said about movement in her classroom: “Because it helps students THINK better!!!”
