“With over 3.8 million minutes logged this school year, our students are moving and groovin’ their way to better health.  We couldn’t be more pleased with this initiative to keep Lafayette kids more active!” - Jim Schellman, VP of Mission Integration, Our Lady of Lourdes

Post this

LAFAYETTE, La. (PRWEB) April 26, 2018 -- Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center and Woman’s Foundation partner with GoNoodle to get 18,000+ elementary age kids in the Lafayette Parish School System moving more at school and at home. GoNoodle’s online movement videos and games get kids running, jumping, dancing, stretching, and practicing moments of mindfulness right next to their desks. Grounded in research, GoNoodle delivers proven results by bettering behavior, more focused time-on-task, and improved academic performance. Now in the fifth year of the partnership, a celebration of the success of the program was held at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center on Wednesday, April 25th.

All teachers in Lafayette Parish School System were invited to this celebration, and awards were given out to the teachers who logged the most minutes of physical activity for their students this school year.

“What an honor to recognize teachers for the work they do to keep physical activity in their classrooms with the GoNoodle Plus platform,” says Jim Schellman, Vice President of Mission Integration at Our Lady of Lourdes. “With over 3.8 million minutes logged this school year, our students are moving and groovin’ their way to better health. We couldn’t be more pleased with this initiative to keep Lafayette kids more active!”

“We are proud to offer GoNoodle Plus to all of the teachers and students in the Lafayette Parish School System,” says Amy Broussard, Executive Director of Woman’s Foundation. “Woman’s Foundation is focused on helping families develop healthy lifestyle habits to improve their quality of life. GoNoodle provides kids with a positive experience in physical activity and helps to increase test scores by learning through movement.”

Fully funded by the two organizations, the goal of this partnership is to increase physical activity amongst kids. GoNoodle has hundreds of movement and mindfulness videos, and GoNoodle Plus, the premium version provided by Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center and Woman’s Foundation, includes additional games that bring movement and core-subjects together to develop fluency in grade-specific math and ELA topics. With GoNoodle Plus, Lafayette Parish elementary teachers have the ability to customize GoNoodle content, which further supports their lesson plans and academic goals of the classroom. Teachers and parents can sign up for free at gonoodle.com.
