Recess, it seems like it is the answer most kids give when asked their favorite thing they have at school. Unfortunately, schools nationwide are cutting recess time due to limited resources. In the past twenty years, children have lost an average of 8 hours of recess a week and some schools no longer provide play time for students at all. According to the American Academy of Pediatricians, the lack of playtime is a national crisis leading to a growing epidemic; childhood obesity.
Dannon®'s decided to try and do something about this issue. Dannon's “Rally for Recess” program is designed to create healthy competition, pitting school against school! Five schools have the opportunity to win new playground equipment and an all-day recess celebration.
Dannon® Danimals® is committed to childhood health and wellness, which starts with good nutrition and an active lifestyle. Through February 8, 2012 purchasers can find codes on Danimals packaging (or free by mail) to enter and register their school online. The top school in each of five categories with the most codes registered wins!
We were provided with samples of Dannon Danimals this past week, as we had never tried them before. They went over really well and I have since stocked up on more! And since my kids love recess as much as most kids, I'll be entering my codes right after I complete this post at RallyforRecess.com.
