My last blog post focused on the Fayette County Public School board’s decision to privatize school nursing services by going to the lowest bidder, a nursing agency, and discontinuing the 50-year relationship with the local health department.

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.

Reader,​​ More often than not, if you sit down and watch a sports movie, the coach is at the centre. Whether it was Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday, Samuel L. Jackson in Coach Carter, or even a Will Ferrell clad in his tiger tracksuit in Kicking & Screaming. This coach-centric storyline can actually reflect some of the realities of sporting environments.

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.
