May 1-7 is National Physical Education and Sport Week

The theme for this year's National Physical Education and Sport Week is Let's Move! Active Schools, a comprehensive program that empowers school champions to create active environments that enable all students to get moving and reach their full potential. Through NPESW, AAHPERD is sharing some fun and unique ways to jump start your LMAS program and help you begin planning for full implementation for the 2013-2014 school year. To get started, check out the activities tab above to get your whole school community involved in creating an active and healthy school environment!

Who are School Champions?
Anyone can take the lead and become a school champion, physical education teachers, classroom teachers, nurse, food services coordinator, principals, administrators, parents, and community members! To learn more about Let's Move! Active Schools, visit www.letsmoveschools.org.

Do YOUR PART to help students reach their full potential and showcase and celebrate during NPESW!  Make a plan that includes all the different people who can serve as "champions!"
