Miles for Smiles
Currently Concord is well below the standard of offering 150 minutes of physical education (PE) to students. Although we have a strong youth sports program in town, I worry about the children who do not participate in such programs. I am concerned that they are not achieving a healthy amount of activity. According to the 2002 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 15.3% of sixth graders reported not having exercised at least three days prior to being surveyed. In an informal survey, six students in one PE class reported not exercising in the prior three days. Miles for Smiles is an incentive program that I have designed to encourage all students to exercise and record their physical activity levels outside of PE class. Your child should have already brought Miles for Smiles paperwork home with them. If you have any questions,
please contact Mrs. Murphy.
