OUR MISSION

The Walking Classroom was developed in 2011 by Laura Fenn, M.S. Ed, for her fifth grade classroom as a response to the lack of opportunities for physical activity for students during the school day. Fenn, an educator for over 15 years, noticed a direct correlation between her students’ academic performance and the amount of physical activity they regularly had. She came up with a way for her students to get the exercise they desperately needed without sacrificing instructional time.
