Physical activity can boost academic performance

At SSB, we have nearly 1,5 hours a day of physical activity. According to the recent a CDC study - recess can improve students' attention and concentration and ability to stay focused; increased physical activity in sports classes can help children's attention, concentration and test scores; short physical activity breaks of 5 to 20 minutes in the classroom can improve attention span and classroom behavior; and participating in sports teams can improve grades, school achievement and chances of graduation - read http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/physicalactivity  for more information.
