NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â A kindergarten teacher started a new program to get kids moving since opportunities for exercise in some Metro schools are low.

While working at Fall-Hamilton Elementary, she saw many students having only one PE class per week. Without a lot of funding for more PE teachers, Legan started showing children how to work out for just 10 minutes a day.

This school year, more than 700,000 Tennessee children qualified for Pandemic-EBT, or P-EBT aid, federal assistance to parents and caregivers to cover the cost of meals for students learning from home. Because every student in Shelby County Schools receives free lunch, every enrolled student was eligible for the program until school cafeterias and buildings reopened in March.
