"Good health behavior is significant only in terms of its effect on the lives of pupils. Good health, therefore, should be a means to an end and not and end in itself. Being healthy should enable children to obtain a better education, be happier, have fun be able to play for longer periods of time without undue fatigue, be more productive in the world, and be better citizens in the community."

- Cornacchia, Olsen and Ozias from the 9th ED of Health in Elementary Schools.

A strong body makes the mind strong.

I Live for Gym

I Live for gym

I breathe for gym

I watch the clock and race to gym

I'm free in gym to run and play

To try new games and shout "Hooray!"

It's in the gym I feel so good

I'd live there if I only could

Have Gym the whole day through

Why then I'd always dash to school

- Kalli Dakos

A Life Complete

Bright enough I passed the test
To enter college to be the best.
Good grades were made in all but one,
My physical skills were all but none.

I pleaded the PE be banned
The Dean reluctantly took my stand.
I graduate with honors strong.
But my body's weak my heart beats wrong.

It's sad to think for one so bright,
I'm not complete my life's not right.
If I could do it all again,
I'd do it so my health would win.

I'd take PE learn physical skills,
MY blood would flow to stave off ills.
I'd live a life that's more worthwhile,
Dean's would require that "extra mile".

Don't sell life short and miss the best,
Learn to move I would request.
Know just what good health can be,
A life complete can set you free.

Sound Mind Sound Body Sound Soul
Leave one out and you can't be whole
