This year, the Elementary School launched a new fitness program for first-graders called “Start Moving!” In an effort to encourage students to be active and get in shape, the program offered positive motivation to take time for regular exercise. Students worked diligently to exercise 20 minutes a day for five days a week. Each time a student’s goal was met, an exercise trinket was given to attach to his or her shoe. Seventy-one first-graders took the challenge and participated in the program, and over 300 trinkets were awarded. On Thursday, January 31, the program culminated with an opportunity for the first-graders to attend a fantastic basketball game with some of BJA’s own athletes—the Lions varsity men’s basketball team. The players, accompanied by Liam the Lion, applauded the students for their accomplishments and provided an enjoyable game showcasing the results of their own dedication to fitness.
