Register your school(s) Let’s Move in School is a national initiative to increase physical activity before, during, and after school. The first 10,000 schools to register will receive a LMIS poster, and one lucky school will win a visit from a President's Council for Fitness, Sports & Nutrition member – a federal supporter of this initiative. Schools can choose from a variety of fun activities that will get students moving and bring attention to the importance of physical education and physical activity. To register a school celebration, find out more about the initiative, and access promotional videos, tools and more, visit www.LetsMoveInSchool.org.
Please share with Sinu Patel spatel@aahperd.org what your school, district and/or state is doing to promote Let's Move in School, an exciting AAHPERD-wide initiative!
Shape of the Nation
Report
The 2012 Shape of the Nation Report: Status of Physical Education in the USA provides a current picture of physical education in the American education system. The 2012 survey finds areas of both improvement and decline since the 2010 Shape of the Nation Report. Thirty-eight states, 74.5%, mandate physical education in elementary, middle/high, and high school, but most do not require a specific amount of instructional time and more than half allow exemptions, waivers, and/or substitutions.
