Move and Improve is a statewide program for adults and children who want ot increase their physical activity and improve their health. This is starting on March 6. Everyone must participate for 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week, for 8-12 weeks. Look for more information after vacation. This is a chance for all of us to be more active, maybe win some prizes, and earn some money for our school. Adults may register at www.moveand improve.org Children will sign up at school.
