Brain Break Example

What are Brain Breaks: Quick (1-2 minute) educational energizers Take virtually no preparation and no extra

materials to perform. Students love Brain Breaks.

Fun and make you laugh. Challenge your brain. Energizing Brain Breaks help you to cross the

mid-line of your body which helps both sides of your brain engage.

It is suggested to use an Brain Break every 20-30 minutes with your class

How do we increase the Nutrition and Activity levels in

Appleton Area School District?

What is it? Annual conference hosted by Appleton Area School

District Outside experts present research-based knowledge

about good nutrition and fitness to educators and parents each year

Each school sends a team Develop a plan how to improve Health & Nutrition

for upcoming school year Why?

The motivation behind the development of the Institute was the fact that students who are well nourished and physically fit are better able to focus in the classroom and to achieve academically.

Schools have a responsibility to address the declining health of our youth.

Education for Healthy Kids Institute

AASD has worked with our community to move health education out of the health classroom and have our schools

reflect healthy lifestyles in culture, instruction, and activities.
