It's that time of year again in West Fargo! It's...Streets Alive!!! If you and your family have never participated in this, I highly recommend doing so! Save the date: Next Saturday, September 21, 2013, 2:30-5:00pm! Turn off your car and and grab your bike, roller blades, skateboards, or just your sneakers and enjoy the fresh air and the blocked off streets here in West Fargo!
To gear up for Saturday's event, West Fargo schools will be having Schools Alive! The goal is to promote 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Let's face it, we all find ourselves cooped up inside much of the winter, so let's get outside and enjoy the warmth, while it's still here!
Aurora will be celebrating Schools Alive by having some fun with fashion this coming week. Here is the schedule:
Monday 9/16-HAT DAY – Hats off to physical fitness! Wear your favorite hat.
Tuesday 9/17-Favorite Jersey Day
Wednesday 9/18-Aurora Colors (Blue,Red,Yellow) or Aurora All Star Shirts
Thursday 9/19-Dress as Favorite Athlete
Friday 9/20-Spirit Day – Work up a sweat! Wear sweats to show your spirit.
Research indicates that getting at least 60 minutes of physical activity can improve behavior, help children focus better, and boost positive attitudes! I know I can tell a difference in my own children if they are getting enough physical activity. Not only that, but my kids seem to do even better if their physical activity takes place outdoors! There's just something about that fresh air!
So, encourage your child to get into the spirit, get up, and get moving next week!!
