Our Goal To ensure that every school provides a comprehensive school physical activity program with quality physical education as the foundation so that youth will develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime

Physical Education: The Foundation Students learn knowledge and skills in physical education… and need opportunities to apply these skills throughout the school environment.
