Let’s Move!

Math Skills-N-Drills and Ultimate Athletics & Academics, Inc. partnered with the Let’s Move! initiative in 2011.

The information below serves as an overview of the program.

“In the end, as First Lady, this isn’t just a policy issue for me. This is a passion. This is my mission. I am determined to work with folks across this country to change the way a generation of kids thinks about food and nutrition.”

– First Lady Michelle Obama

Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady, dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams. Sure, this is an ambitious goal. But with your help, we can do it.

Combining comprehensive strategies with common sense, Let’s Move! is about putting children on the path to a healthy future during their earliest months and years. Giving parents helpful information and fostering environments that support healthy choices. Providing healthier foods in our schools. Ensuring that every family has access to healthy, affordable food. And, helping children become more physically active.

At the launch of the initiative, President Barack Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum creating the first-ever Task Force on Childhood Obesity to conduct a review of every single programs and policies relating to child nutrition and physical activity and develop a national action plan to maximize federal resources and set concrete benchmarks toward the First Lady’s national goal. The Task Force recommendations focus on the five pillars of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative:

1. Creating a healthy start for children
2. Empowering parents and caregivers
3. Providing healthy food in schools
4. Improving access to healthy, affordable foods
5. Increasing physical activity

Everyone has a role to play in reducing childhood obesity, including parents and caregivers, elected officials from all levels of government, schools, health care professionals, faith-based and community-based organizations, and private sector companies. Your involvement is key to ensuring a healthy future for our children.

Mentoring

THE ULTIMATE MENTORING PROGRAM

Ultimate Athletics & Academics, Inc. also offers a mentoring program. This program is designed to motivate, support, and challenge all students. A mentor can be defined as a wise and trusted guide or influential supporter. Mentors are not parents, guardians nor teachers; rather they are positive role models. The role of a mentor is to be a friend, guide, coach and/or positive influence to the students who works with the parent and teacher. In this mentoring program, our mentors are compassionate caring people, with a true gift to help others.

GOALS:

Personal & Spiritual Growth & Development– Our mentors ensure that all students maximize his/her full potential, by mastering skills that help them become the best they can be. We help them work on their attitudes and set goals for themselves. We also help them find meaning, purpose, and joy in their life.

Education– We stress the importance of a good education. We look for fun and innovative ideas to help the students learn and better understand his/her school objectives.

Recreation– Health and physical fitness is an important part of all of our lives. Not only do we teach the students to be physically fit, the mentors also participate in the physical activities with the students.

Civics– The mentors teach the students the importance of getting involved in their community.

Peer Mediation– We teach the students how to resolve conflict the correct way.

Career Development– We teach the student social skills, how to prepare for an interview, and also allow them to research different career paths.

OUR MENTORS:

All mentors must complete an application and pass a detailed background check. Then each person must attend a training workshop given by a licensed and experienced trainer. The workshop will teach each mentor the skills and values of Ultimate Athletics & Academics, Inc. mentoring program. The workshop includes topics such as: “What’s a Mentor?”, “Rules and Responsibilities in the Mentoring Relationship”, and “Managing the Mentor Relationship.”
