= __Parent Page __ = = = -Physical education all starts at home. Educating your children about the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle is essential for their development and growth. It is a 'lead by example' type of atmosphere. Children soak things up like a sponge well into their teens and it is extremely important to set a good example at home. A physical education class that lasts maybe an hour, hopefully 5 times a week, is not enough for your child. Help set that example at home with proper nutrition education and staying active. They will love you for it!

media type="custom" key="4133535" 1.) A long one, but a great video talking about shifting the whole idea of nutrition and physical education in the classroom. Highlights the myriad of benefits regarding an active and healthy lifestyle in children. 2.) A video for the basketball fans. NBA star Dwight Howard goes over his workout routine and talks about how he had to work even harder to keep up with the fitness levels of his competitors, starting when he was just 18 years old! 3.) A pretty cool video that goes over the grueling workout routine the actors went through for the movie, '300'. Pretty interesting for anybody interested in a killer workout. And yes, I practice what I preach and it is not easy. 4.) Physical Educator, Doug Stebbins, goes over the benefits of his creative physical education module, 'The Patch'. This looks like a great piece of equipment and just goes to show the variety available for staying active. 5.) An example of some elementary and middle school students going over a physical education station scenario where they complete several different tasks, going at their own speed, and in groups. Very fun to watch. It looks like they are having a great time. This is what physical education is all about!
