 PhyEd Today
From Mr. Ronnenberg's Blog...
The importance of exercise and fitness...

Physical Education class is sometimes the only physical activity students get throughout the day.  Did you know that children today spend a total of 7.5 hours in front of a screen?  OR that only 1 in 3 children are active every day?  Physical activity is so important and healthy lifestyles are created at an early age.
Check out my webpage for some interesting links about making healthy choices.

Also take time read about physical activity guidelines from the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.
