Regular physical activity is a vital component of every child’s life, yet many children lack access to safe spaces to be physically active.
Opening existing school facilities will reduce challenges and support the addition of physical activity options locally.
Join #SaludTues on July 28, 2015 to tweet about how community members and schools can increase access to safe spaces for children to be physically active outside of regular school hours by using existing school resources.
