🏈✨ SHARES Lancashire Pupil Parliament – Inspiring the Next Generation ✨🏈
SHARES Lancashire Pupil Parliament had the incredible opportunity to welcome special guest Alex Lenkowski for an inspiring and interactive session focused on health, wellbeing and the importance of staying active — an experience made possible through ActiveKids UK.
Alex shared his inspiring journey through sport and spoke to our children about the importance of health, wellbeing, resilience and developing a positive mindset. As Team GB American Football Captain, with over 14 seasons of experience, Alex works with young people and athletes to develop both their physical and mental performance, encouraging individuals to believe in themselves and reach their full potential.
Our schools had the opportunity to learn more about why looking after both your body and mind matters, how regular exercise can support overall wellbeing, and how small healthy habits each day can create long-term positive change. Alex encouraged our children to challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zones and understand that success isn’t always about winning — it’s about effort, attitude and giving things a go.
The children got active and stepped into the world of American Football, learning new skills, taking part in drills and experiencing just how energetic and exciting the sport can be — and what a fantastic workout it was! There was so much energy, teamwork, encouragement and determination shown throughout the afternoon, with children supporting one another and embracing every challenge.
A huge well done to all of our amazing Pupil Parliament representatives for getting involved and throwing themselves into the activities.
A huge thank you to Alex Lenkowski and ActivKids UK for providing such an engaging, inspiring and memorable opportunity for our SHARES schools 💙
