Active Classrooms in Action
Having [standing] desks in the classroom has enabled students to learn to share and make decisions, while increasing student participation, accountability and ownership."

Engaging Partners
As part of our efforts to spread awareness around the impacts of sedentary behavior in children, we have partnered with a number of national organizations to educate and engage students, teachers, administrators and parents in active lifestyles. Through this work, we've met remarkable kids who have taken it upon themselves to spread the message of the importance of movement of low-level activity. Check out their stories!
