Adventure To Fitness- No Barriers!

Hello Adventurers!

I wanted to let you in on an update from HQ! The number of schools, teachers, and minutes used is rapidly increasing! We are seconds away from 6,000 schools, we are over 25,500 teachers, and up to this very second, physical activity has increased with Adventure To Fitness by 3,153,784.5 minutes!!! That is pretty incredible and as always we thank you the teachers for jumping on board and getting your kids healthy!

Mr. Marc was also just in San Antonio spreading the word this week and soon he is heading to Chicago to do just the same! But he's doing more than just that. Remember in a previous post I mentioned the Mr. Marc Skype visits with the top classrooms in the nation? Well that has been going full speed! Updates and highlights on that to come but...

There IS something very interesting I want to share with you. We planned a Skype visit with one of the schools over in Alaska. That is cool all on its own. But to top it off, this school is very unique. The school is in a village community of Razdolna which is an Old Believer Russian village. They have isolated themselves in order to preserve the culture and so the school is located within the village for the children there. However, physical activity is of course important to them as well. They have no gym and so wondered what they could do to get the kids active during the school day. Then along came Adventure to Fitness! That is what struck us over here at HQ: With the use of technology, everyone can be reached. There are no barriers! We are reaching people everywhere as long as they have internet. Even remote areas. As Mr. Marc says in the episodes, "Nobody gets left behind." We try to do that by making sure every teacher hears about us and our mission! This way, every child can have the opportunity to get fit with Adventure to Fitness!

So remember teachers, you are one of many as part of this mission and we want your kids to be inspired to move! So, "Just Hit Play!"

As always, keep it moving, my friends!
