3rd Annual JAM World Record

By:

  

 

Our school participated in the Jam (Just-a-Minute) School Program for a second year. This program provides FREE resources that educators can use to bring health education and physical activity into the school environment. Over 30,000 schools with 10 million students, educators and parents are JAMMIN! The program's philosophy is that exercise is the single best gift you can give yourself and those around you.

 

*Fit people do better.

  Being fit improves your confidence, self-esteem, learning and makes you happier.

 

*100% of the population can be fit to their personal best.

  Fitness is unique to each of us.

 

*Being fit allows you to perform at your peak.

  When you are fit, you are able to be your personal best in all that you do.

 

*We owe kids the opportunity to learn the importance of being fit and healthy.

  Habits learned in childhood will be carried into adulthood.

 

On Thursday, February 12th at 10:00, our students joined 1,658,519 people in 49 states and 13 countries that signed up to JAM for 1 minute. Our state of Texas came in 6th with 260,676 JAMMERS.

 

At 10:00 a.m., all students and staff stopped what they were doing no matter where they were and let loose with their dance moves.

 

Our students are also given little brain breaks by teachers whenever they need to get the wiggles out and help the students get back to focusing on their learning.

 

We also have a weekly JAM session scheduled every Wednesday at 10:00.  Students enjoy this fun opportunity to MOVE and DANCE.
