This year East Main Elementary had approximately 700 students participate in the New York Road Runners program. At "NYRR we believe in the power of activity to keep children physically and mentally strong. We get kids moving to help them develop lifelong physical and social-emotional skills."
The teachers at East Main do just that with brain breaks, yoga, physical activities in the classroom, and outdoor recess, and as an incentive the NYRR organization supplies each child with a free T-shirt and other prizes throughout the year.
