ISD #728 Administration

It's been proven many times that exercising helps boost energy throughout the day. I can testify to that. I work at a desk all day and my work provides workout classes everyday during lunch. I go down and get my workout in and come back refreshed and energized and feel less tired in the afternoon. When I don't work out, I get tired from sitting all day and staring at my computer or trying to learn something new. Kids need a break to get out and stretch and exercise their minds for a while. When you take that away, kids will not retain as much information. I agree that kids need exercise at home too and am not saying parents don't have any responsibility. What I am saying is that burning energy and getting the heart pumping helps the brain and helps kids function better and learn more. Don't take that away.
