The Philadelphia Flyers and Bank of America want to get children moving in the classroom. Representatives from both organizations hosted a wellness event on Wednesday at Disston Elementary School in Tacony. They launched a "move to learn" app.

The program is designed to improve students' focus. It delivers quick, personalized brain breaks. The Flyers say they are also the first professional team to introduce a customized version of the app.

It features a "Flyers World" experience, which expands hockey beyond the ice. Bank of America is donating $70,000 worth of ball hockey equipment to the School District of Philadelphia.
