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.
