Overview
The importance of your child’s physical activity education is very important to us. The percentage of overweight youth has more than tripled in the past 25 years partially due to the increased interest in sedentary activities such as television, computers, and video games. A reduction in physical activity as well as an increase in caloric intake has contributed to an obesity epidemic.
This school year our physical education department will establish an added emphasis on physical fitness, and give your children an understanding of the obesity epidemic to help ensure your children do not develop sedentary lifestyle habits; and therefore succumb to this growing problem. Parent support is crucial to this process, so we hope you too can model proper exercise routines at home and help encourage your children to get active outside of school.
