March Theme: Physical Activity and Academic Achievement 

More and more evidence is emerging about the positive impact of school-based physical education and physical activity on academic performance. For instance, in the Lincoln, NE public schools, students who passed the district's physical fitness test were significantly more likely to pass state reading and math tests. That is one of the reasons why across the nation schools are increasing physical activity before, during and after school.
