🎉 Sept. 25th is Power Up for 30 Day across Georgia! 🎉

HealthMPowers is proud to lead this annual celebration, spotlighting schools that carve out an extra 30 minutes of movement each day—beyond recess and PE. Why? Because kids need 60 minutes of activity daily to thrive.

💪 We’ve inspired teachers and students to get creative:

• Brain breaks in the classroom
• Group games outside
• Mindfulness and breathing
• Movement woven into learning

📣 Join us tomorrow by committing to at least 30 minutes of movement at school, at home, or with your community—and help us reach our goal in the 25 Million Minutes Challenge, where Georgians are moving a collective 25 million minutes in 2025! Take the 25 Million Minute pledge here: https://healthmpowers.org/25millionminutes/ #:~:text=This%20statewide%20campaign%20unites%20Georgia,healthier%20minds%2C%20and%20lifelong%20habits.

Let’s and show that movement fuels learning, health, and joy.

WE 💜 THIS!

MAKING HISTORY: At 10, Georgia's own Kendall Rae Johnson became the youngest certified farmer in the U.S. and earned a full-ride agriculture scholarship to South Carolina State University.

Tonight, her story was featured on NBC Nightly News.

Take a second to congratulate her! She's making our state proud! https://www.11alive.com/article/news/special-reports/11alive-exclusives/10-year-old-georgia-farmer-makes-history/85-a73d06f9-c4a9-406b-b103-80a408dcbc80?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_11Alive

This year marks the 25th anniversary of HealthMPowers, and we’re celebrating not just the milestones—but the memories that shaped us.

Believe it or not, some of our incredible team members have been with us since day one. Our first “office” was a donated closet space at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Desks? Cardboard boxes. Decor? A single plant to brighten the room. (Yes, really!)

Fast forward 25 years: we now have real desks, our own office—and that same resilient plant is still thriving. In honor of our anniversary, our accountant propagated cuttings from that original plant and gifted them to the entire team. A small gesture, but one filled with meaning.

It was a symbol of appreciation, legacy, and growth—a reminder that culture lives in the little things. As we continue to evolve, these people-powered moments quietly reinforce who we are and what we stand for.

Here’s to 25 years of purpose, passion, and the small gestures that keep our identity alive. 🌱

We gotta walk the walk, right?! Instead of sitting in a conference room, your HealthMPowers team kicked off a busy week with a solid walk together!

You know the saying: it's the simple things. Well, here's an awesome reminder that a little strawberry, lemon or even cucumber in some water is a tasty, and simple, replacement for sugary drinks. In honor of back to school and healthy habits, Princeton Elementary School's Pre-K team served up some fruity sips and healthy tips! Throughout their "How to Stay Hydrated and Healthy" event, families sipped, smiled, and left inspired to choose water over sugary drinks. 🍓🍋💧We love that student waiting so earnestly to try out some fresh, infused water!
