Oakwood Elementary teacher Jan Millwood holds a virtual fitness and education program every morning with her students.
Jan Millwood is not a physical education teacher — she’s a special education teacher. But this past year she has seen firsthand the benefits of physical activity in students. Last school year, Millwood, a teacher at Oakwood Elementary School, used a program called Adventure to Fitness, an online, interactive tool that immerses students into a virtual world of education that they have to traverse physically.
