Pat the Patriot featured in a recent Boston Back in Motion promo video encouraging kids to get active.
This month, Dorchester elementary students will have a chance to win money for their schools through exercise, thanks to $25,000 in grants recently announced by The Boston Foundation and The Reebok Foundation as part of Boston Back in Motion, an initiative aimed at inspiring young Bostonians to stay active as schools transition back to in-person learning.
Boston Back in Motion is a month-long campaign, online toolkit, and fitness challenge program to get young people in grades 1 through 8 engaged in daily movement. Each week, participants are asked to complete a survey about the amount of movement their class/program achieved. The schools or community-based organizations with the most participation at the end of April will receive prizes.
