Children (and adults included)need physical
activity. Kentucky is ranked as one of the states
with the highest obesity rates not to mention the other related health problems.I really don't think
30 minutes a day is asking too much!

this sounds good, but where do you get the people to run this program? how much added work will this produce for the people running this program?
will the school have to have a EMS rep. on site in case some child has a problem? who will handle the wave of parents who do not want their child to be exposed to this program?
have you spoken with anyone in the school systems about this program?
