Does your school prioritize physical education and daily physical activity?

As a former teacher, I witnessed the benefits exercise had on my students' learning and behavior in the classroom. Even 10 minutes of low-intensity exercise has proven benefits.

Recent CDC report indicates children had substantial and alarming weight gains during the pandemic and includes calls to action for Schools: Urgently Prioritize the Physical Health of Students.

Dr. Tim Davis of SUNY Cortland advocates for quality PE in schools and we couldn't agree more. Beyond the health-related benefits, there's substantial evidence that exercise can improve academics and behavior for those with #autism @AbdoDavis @DavidGeslak
