Health at Home Resources for Parents & Educators Dealing with School Closures

March 18, 2020  | By CATCH Global Foundation

Just like you, we are trying to keep our kids healthy and active in the midst of Coronavirus-related school closures. To help all our families, we’ve set up a Google Classroom to provide free and easy access to several of CATCH’s evidence-based health, nutrition, and physical education materials. These activities require limited space and supervision, and are organized into three sections: Physical Activities, Activity Breaks and Family Health and Nutrition.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the support of our friends and partners to be able to provide free access to our high-quality, evidence-based health and wellness curriculum to schools. If you would like to contribute to these efforts, please consider a donation to CATCH Global Foundation.
