Physical education (PE) is critical to students’ overall development. However, PE is often portrayed negatively on television and in movies. Having well-trained, passionate PE teachers is essential to the success of any physical education program. Good PE teachers possess the skills to deliver a comprehensive and engaging curriculum and serve as role models, inspiring students to adopt lifelong habits of physical activity and healthy living.

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

A nurse at Stanford Children’s makes a lasting impact in the Latinx community, caring for children with serious heart conditions both within the hospital and abroad.

As the old saying goes, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Comparison also robs us peace, security, contentment and the ability to live fully and happily in the present. Yet comparison is very hard to resist. It is a trap that sneaks up on us and sucks us in before we even realize it. Why.

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.

Our goal is to expose them to the majority of the sports we offer to both girls and boys. This allows them to try something new that they may fall in love with and want to try once they enter 6th grade.

The skin is the body’s largest organ and undergoes many changes during aging. When considering the importance of nutrition and skin health, five foundational focus areas should be discussed: nourishing the skin, hormonal health balance, strengthening the gut-skin connection, fortifying the skin barrier, and building collagen. Nutrition can be thought of as the core of these foundations.

HALT is an acronym for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. These emotional states or unwanted circumstances lead to unhealthy decisions. When we’re irritable and start to reach for a vice of some kind for comfort, we should pause and ask ourselves if we’re hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. But there’s one more situation I want to add to this list: boredom.
