Project Description
NEWfit RECESS
Better physical health has been shown to improve self-esteem which in turn impacts a child’s school performance and social-emotional growth.
Active play has shown to support the cognitive function of children, therefore, our structured recess program reinforces skills desirable in the classroom such as collaboration, camaraderie, focus, and persistence.
Like all of our programs, NEWfit Recess is tailored to the specific needs of school sites and most importantly their elementary and/or middle school students. During Recess, a NEWfit team member works with students during their recess time on team activities that promote leadership, sportsmanship, conflict resolution, and sportsmanship.
