Most kids are active all summer- playing outside, going to the pool, running around the neighborhood. But how active are kids in school? As kids are heading back to school, we need to remind state legislators how important quality physical education programs are in combating childhood obesity and getting kids active. Take this opportunity to tell your state legislators that strengthening physical education is important to you! CLICK HERE to show your support for Active Kids in our Schools As part of the American Heart Association You're the Cure network, you have demonstrated your interest in strengthening health and physical education in our schools. To ensure we are successful in 2008, we need you to contact your legislators to let them know how important this issue is to you. Take action today and remind your legislators and Governor Pawlenty that all of Minnesota's kids need quality physical education programs. Let them know that you want to see physical education made a priority as they look for solutions to halt the childhood obesity epidemic in Minnesota. Sincerely, P.S.
