Announcing GoNoodle: Good Energy at Home
With support from the Center for the Child & Community and the Nebraska Healthy Schools Program, we are able to share with you the newly launched GoNoodle: Good Energy at Home!
This is a collection of free online resources for kids and families to move and learn together! Whether it is the joy of a family dance party, the calming of a mindfulness video to ease kids back into learning, or exploring how to stop the spread of germs - we are encouraging parents to sign up to engage kiddos in fun ways to stay healthy and active while they spend more time at home with active learning strategies.

Although you may not be able to meet in person with young people, there are still ways for teachers and program staff to build valuable developmental relationships.
