Power Up for 30 is a statewide initiative that equips educators and families with strategies to integrate an additional 30 minutes of physical activity, outside of P.E., throughout the day for ALL children and youth. The initiative builds on research demonstrating a strong relationship between physical activity and improved academic achievement, better classroom behavior, and reduced risk of depression and anxiety.
