Introducing the Defenders of Physical Activity Award
09/24/19
At BOKS, we envision a world in which physical activity is part of every child’s day. Our existing BOKS programs, and the trainers who run those programs, are getting us closer to making this dream a reality. To us, these all-star BOKS programs are real-life superheroes.
That’s why we are excited to announce The Defenders of Physical Activity Award.
This monthly award will recognize exemplary BOKS programs that are not only changing the health and wellness of kids in their community but setting an example for other schools to do the same.
Winners of the Defenders of Physical Activity Award will get much more than bragging rights, monthly winners will receive:

- Press release template for school to share with local media;
