Only 39 percent of Minneapolis 8th graders and 41 percent of Saint Paul 8th graders were proficient on the MCA math test as of 2012, and the percentages were even lower for students of color and those living in poverty. (MPS and SPPS, 2012) Childhood obesity remains a critical issue in Minnesota with 26 percent of 9th graders considered overweight, and 18 percent considered obese. (MN Department of Health, 2010) It is recommended that children engage in at least 60 minutes of exercise per day, but only 32 percent of kids ages 6 to 13 and 16 percent of teens achieve this goal in Minnesota. We can and need to do better as a community.
Building Academic Success and Physical Fitness
The MN Cycling Center is committed to the academic growth and fitness of our region’s youth. Through the science of sports and a special standards-based curriculum developed in partnership with the Minneapolis Public Schools, the Minnesota Cycling Center will offer dynamic S.T.E.A.M. programming to 6th through 12th graders, adding the “A” for athletics to improve students’ fitness and health in addition to their academics.
