I'm a mom of two, and have spent many hours volunteering in classrooms over the years. Physical activity is essential to a positive educational experience. My son and daughter learn so much better when there is dedicated physical breaks. Withholding those breaks makes the rest of the class time less productive. Please pass Sf 34

As a mother of a son with ADHD and Tourettes, I strongly support SF 34. This bill is vital for promoting physical activity among students in kindergarten through grade five.Incorporating more movement into the school day can significantly aid children like my son, helping them manage their symptoms and improve focus. Regular physical activity fosters social skills, boosts selfesteem, and enhances academic performance.Passing SF 34 will create a healthier, more engaging environment for all students. I urge lawmakers to support this important legislation for our children's futures.
