Let's Read. Let’s Move. – Atlanta Metro

 

Founder Chris Draft will bring the Let’s Read. Let’s Move. initiative to students at Nikajack Elementary in Smyrna, Georgia.  He will visit with all grade levels, from Kindergarten through 5th grade, combining reading with physical activity on the NFL Back to Football Friday. 

The Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative seeks to combat childhood obesity and summer reading loss by engaging youth in summer reading and physical activity, as well as by providing access to healthy, affordable food. The initiative is an Administration-wide effort led by the Corporation for National and Community Service in collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama and five federal agencies - U.S. Department of Education, Department of Interior, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, and Institute of Museums and Libraries.
