What Moves U? Daniel Boone Middle School

As a part of the What Moves U? campaign, Brent Celek visited to Douglasville, Pennsylvania to inform and enlighten the students of Daniel Boone Middle School on the importance of getting enough sleep, eating the right foods, and exercising on a daily basis. Celek talked with the students about his lifestyle when he was their age and which activities he participated in to stay physically fit. Later, the students were given the opportunity to ask Celek about his current regimen as a professional football player.

A group of students were then selected to participate in an activity directly from the What Moves U? curriculum which they demonstrated in front of their entire middle school. Additionally, if the students submitted a winning essay on how they stay physically active, they were awarded Eagles prizes and the opportunity to meet Brent.

The What Moves U? program, designed by the NFL and the American Heart Association, is aligned with the standards required by the PA Department of Education and provides lesson plans that incorporate physical activity into the classroom.

The Philadelphia Eagles have partnered with the State of Pennsylvania's "Balance Campaign" to bring the "What Moves U?" anti-obesity program to middle schools in Eastern Pennsylvania. "What Moves U?" will visit two more schools this year to help promote the program and to keep students active in the classroom.
