| Description | Reports show that young children are not getting the physical activity they should. We wanted to introduce our
students to a fun program that they can use to get fit and at the same time learn about areas in the state that provide the same physical activities. Students will also learn about each area and how physical activity will improve their health. All activities will be conducted at school during scheduled physical education time. | |
