Executive function and brain health are not skills reserved for elementary students; middle and high school students also rely on them. DASH Kids aren't only young students, they are preteen and teenage students, too. #DASHKidsMove#DASHTeensMoveToo#AllStudents
βI call [exercise] Miracle-Gro for the brain. Exercise keeps these cells healthy in a way that even playing chess does not."

WA is one of the 44 that does not require PE in all grades. We are the ones that will get and keep our students actively learning! #DASHKidsMove#ActiveBodiesActiveMinds
βFree play and exploration are, historically, the means by which children learn to solve their own problems, control their own lives, develop their own interests, and become competent in pursuit of their own interests." -Dr. Peter Grey #DashKidsMove#FreePlay#OutsideLearning
Bring a little retro fun to your Friday! Hopscotch, Jump rope, and Foursquare have been providing fun and activity for generations! #DashKidsMove#RetroActive#FunDayFriday
Our students may not be in their classrooms but learning can continue! Heading outdoors to explore new parks, local attractions or nearby natural wonders sparks a world of learning. #DASHKidsMove#LearnOutside#PhysicalLiteracy
The traditional view that the basal ganglia and cerebellum are simply involved in the control of movement has been challenged in recent years. The basal ganglia and cerebellar connections work with the cerebral cortex in learning + behavior.
"Diversification of physical activity directly supports the development of multiple motor skills which, in turn, may crossover to multiple sports" and summer is the perfect time to try something new!
