Daily life in school is a mostly sedentary activity. Children are growing, and forming the habits of a lifetime. Research proves that people have healthier brains, are able to focus more easily when they exercise regularly. If we want to help our children be better students we have to make sure they stay healthy.
With so many children being driven to school an opportunity for exercise is lost. Recess is brief, and the amount of actual activity varies, some children sit and don't exercise at all. Lower school children receive one gym class once a week. Starting in fifth grade the children don't have any physical education at all.
Our children need to exercise everyday. It will boost their performance at school and make them healthier and happier.
We, the undersigned, call on Menlo Park Academy to provide an exercise curriculum for grades K-8. This program should provide large muscle motor activity for a full class period each day.
