Minneapolis Public schools has over 4900 middle school aged children in the 7 Middle Schools and k-12 schools in addition to the unknown amount of charter schools in the middle school aged in the district! This affects all students and their engagement in school, staying active in school and in life, staying off of technology for a moment and studies show that students involved in athletics and activities tend to be better students! Please get involved and have your student sign as well as family and friends that believe that athletics help shape the "whole student" and their overall growth! Please sign the petition, write to new MPS superintendant and or your area school board representative about your wishes! Many Thanks.
