Thank you soooo much for the bags. They are amazing!
Working with Upward Thrive Academy and our blessed donors we were able to bless five families in the local community with Christmas joy!
This [Magazine] is amazing!
Thank you for the bookbag and equipment. It was very educational. I liked everything there was inside.
Thanks so much! The backpack and all the goodies included with it are so nice. My grandson loves it and he checked out the challenge and enjoyed it. I will be passing the magazine to my friend’s granddaughter.
The book bag was nice and the journal was very helpful. I look forward to the videos.
Our school received book bag donations for the students who would benefit most from Get Up and Goal. The book bags provided by Upward Thrive Academy exceeded our expectations. The bags were filled with so many goodies to help our kids get moving and stay active during this Pandemic. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you for your donation.
I appreciate the backpacks that you have provided for the children in our community. This Pandemic has impacted so many for the last year. My heart is concerned about the social-emotional learning and needs for these, our children. For many of them, school was a safe haven where their needs were met. The items in the backpack will bring joy to their faces and remind them of how to take care of themselves. You will never really know how this kind gesture will allow these children to feel that they are loved, and someone is thinking about them.
The video and backpack are really nice. I enjoyed the many exercise items. Thank you.
“The generous donation of warm winter kits from Upward Thrive Academy is greatly appreciated by the students and families of Dr. Brown Elementary and Barnhart Elementary. Socks are items that are rarely donated to schools, but are often in need. Thank you so much for ensuring that our students are warm during this winter season.” – Ms. Ameen (CCPS PPW)
Because the COVID infection is most prevalent among people of color, the obese, and individuals with weakened immune systems, the lack of physical activity increases the risk for obesity, contraction, and complications among youth. With this in mind, we launched our health and wellness response initiative to help school-age children increase physical activity and improve mental health stability during the pandemic.
The programs below are designed to help foster awareness and present an enjoyable experience to help youth combat these issues:
• Health and Wellness Magazine for Youth – free, hardcopy magazine consisting of healthy, nutritional facts, at-home exercise options, and goal setting and leadership education to foster awareness and improve esteem and mental health.
• Wellness backpacks – filled with educational materials including goal-setting books and exercising equipment for youth who are medically obese, and youth populations that are at greater risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus.
• UTA online videos – focusing on health and nutrition, fitness, goal setting, and leadership to aid in at-home workout and wellness activities. These videos are available on our website and social media platforms.
