For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly.

The Power of Numbers: Why 143 Matters The number 143 represents a simple yet profound message of love, first popularized by Fred Rogers, the beloved host of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. For Fred Rogers, 143 symbolized “I love you”—one letter in “I,” four in “love,” and three in “you.” Mr. Rogers even maintained a consistent weight of 143 pounds for decades, viewing it as a symbol of love, stability, and care, values that resonate deeply with our work in schools.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Traditionally, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are laser-focused on helping the smallest and most critically ill babies recover. While that’s always the primary goal, a handful of forward-thinking hospitals have embraced a family-focused approach to care that also includes the parents’ mental health and well-being. When a baby is critically ill and in the NICU, the stress on parents can be unrelenting and can last for months.
