Park Brook Elementary School principal Scott Taylor visits the podcast to talk about how his Brooklyn Park school’s innovative “Focus on Fitness” curriculum helps students achieve. Park Brook students start their day with a Morning Move, take seats on stability balls and wobble stools, break up classwork with active Brain Boosts, and participate in afterschool Boot Camps to focus their fitness for specific events, including next month’s TC 5K, presented Fredrikson & Byron, part of Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend.
