I am a firm believer in the power of storytelling. Our stories help us connect with others, build empathy and understanding, and inspire change. This is particularly true in the field of school nursing, where our stories can shed light on the vital role that school nurses play in the health and well-being of our students.

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.

As the warmer temperatures begin to roll across the country, most kids in school simply can’t wait to get outside and play. My favorite time in school was always recess.
