Founder’s Message

Dear Parents, Teachers, Educators, Community Partners and Colleagues,

As the world continues to face tough economic challenges, many communities are experiencing tremendous strains due to reduced income and rising personal costs. As a result, more and more families are trying to simplify their lives. They’re staying home more often, spending more quality time with family and friends, and reverting back to the types of wholesome activities that give them the most comfort and personal wellbeing.

Moovjam has always encouraged wholesome activities, and a back-to-the-basics approach when promoting the wellbeing of school children, educators, parents and community members. But there is nothing basic about the obesity epidemic that we are currently facing. In response, Moovjam has expanded its Healthy Living Program to include every individual person and professional that comprises the environment you live in. The program is designed to be integrated into every student’s school day, and it acts as a bridge between students, parents, and teachers; families and professionals; classroom lessons and environmental integration and response. The Healthy Living Program, with continual involvement and support, will inevitably eliminate obesity and prevent its devastating effects on our children’s overall health and wellbeing. As such, we have high expectations of our partners, and the families and communities that we work with, and trust that they will continue to engage with us in this effort to ensure the health of each and every child. We have equally high expectations of our children, and know that they will attend school each day with a willingness and desire to learn and to lead each other towards a healthy and fit future. In turn, you can expect the most from us. We will not rest until our mission is realized. Nor will we rest on our laurels once it is. Our children’s future is NOW. Isn’t it up to us to ensure that they have the very best chance?

Thank you for being here, and please feel free to peruse the Moovjam site. I hope it inspires you, and that you become a part of our Moovment before you go.

Very truly yours,

Laurie Bryna, President and Founder of Moovjam
