My Project

My little ones here at PS 123Q are FULL of energy! The best way to provide a release for all of that extra energy is by introducing them to exercise routines and showing them how fun being active is.

My children need a variety of activities, sports, and games that fit their personality, ability, age, and interests.

I know they won't mind a daily dose of fitness as long as it's fun.

Plus, these activity breaks during the school day can help sharpen their abilities to focus and stay on task.

Ms. Menzies PS 123 Grades PreK-2
