The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Ask most elementary students what their favorite school activity is, and they will most likely respond “RECESS”! And as Physical Educators, we can, and should, serve in making recess the best possible experience for our students. Why? Because we are the movement experts. We know all about the importance of play, and we can serve our school community by sharing our expertise with everyone.

I had a conversation with my husband, Ed, that I had not had before, the one where I admitted I was fearful of being shot at school. I have thought about it, those deep, dark thoughts that pass through my mind almost every single day, but I had not shared it out loud. By saying those words, it made my fear feel very real.
