Staying physically fit!

At Kennedy PS, we take very seriously the need for DPA (Daily Physical Activity) for children in order to create a well-balanced human being. We have all of our Kennedy students take part in our community walks when weather conditions are favourable. We also have school-wide exercising routines we do together when we cannot go outside. Our older students are mentors to the younger grades and visit their classrooms to encourage and help in participation.

Here are some important links for information on daily physical health and activity that the TDSB highly recommends:

• Canada's Physical Activity Guide

• Into Health (Toronto Heart Health Partnership)
