Schoolkids who get 'Back in Motion' can help out their schools

By Daniel Sheehan, Reporter Staff April 15, 2021 Daniel Sheehan, Reporter Staff 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.

EPS Receives Grant to Assist with Youth Sports and Activities The Everett Public Schools’ sports program gained additional help with a grant of $4,000 from the Reebok Foundation and its nonprofit BOKS. Ward 5 School Committee Member Marcony Almeida-Barros helped facilitate the grant after meeting with the leadership of BOKS and connected them to the EPS administration to apply. The grant award provides assistance with physical activities at both the English and Everett High Schools. The organization leads a free physical activity program designed to get kids active and establish a lifelong commitment to health and fitness. Many kids today need to be more active to avoid the continued prevalence of childhood obesity. Among the myriad issues facing our education system, obesity may not seem like a top issue, but its health implications are undoubtedly impacting students’ ability to learn.
