3. During our Cooler Conversations we provide students and their families with a daily opportunity to refresh, recharge and reconnect. We refresh our students and families by providing infused water, we recharge them by providing almonds and other sources of clean fuel and we reconnect them by posing a daily question to prompt meaningful conversations. Through this program we have found that students are now engaged in meaningful conversations with their parents on their way home from the program, and they are asking for infused water at home during dinner time and on the weekends.

5. Through partnerships with Center for Collaborative Solutions and Kaiser, we were able to secure 115 pedometers for students and staff to track their steps during after school hours. In November 2015 we implemented our Walk Across America program and in three (3) months our students at Eisenhut Elementary have taken 538,507 steps (and counting). WALK ACROSS AMERICA

6. During the academic hour, staff facilitate “Brain Breaks” using several techniques. Brain breaks are physical activities that can help students refocus and improve their attention span. Energizing brain breaks help engage both sides of the brain. Movement is connected to cognitive learning. Students need to be up and moving. When we sit for more than 20 minutes, blood pools in our body - we need to get up and recirculate the blood back to the brain. Kids think better on their feet than on their seat!
