On June 12 the entire Bend, Oregon community is invited to join teachers, students and families from 6 local schools in the global celebration of the PopCap flagship game, Bejeweled.

PopCap has teamed with us at FootGaming to create a community-wide event that will help build awareness of the dynamic and powerful ExerLearning program that was born right in Central Oregon.

Through May 15, local teachers will apply for PopCap sponsored grants that will bring select PopCap games, FootPOWR active computer mouse peripherals and valuable teacher training to six finalist teachers. Busy teachers know that regular physical activity helps students to focus, develop cognitive skills and to “get the wiggles out.”  Exerlearning the PopCap and FootGaming way makes it ultra-easy for our teachers.

Why should kids – or anyone else – sit and use a regular mouse all day (and night) long?  Physical activity is great for the body and the mind – it’s exciting to be part of the solution for our hard-working teachers.  Thanks PopCap!
