We dropped of equipment to every family... students and parents loved it! It was a lot to organize but well worth it.

Kids love active materials and will use them.

From all the initiatives I have seen, this one has the greatest positive impact on student health.

Parents love and will use materials. Anything I have given families has been well used and passed to others.
