Dr. Yvonne Butler was the keynote speaker at the Atlanta Schools "Wellness" Workshops Project.
Our goal is to explore ideas and resources related to the benefit of physical education in elementary and middle school. We seek to become familiar with issues of well-being facing elementary and middle school students, and to discover the connection between physical well-being and learning so we can be better and more well-rounded teachers. In order to meet our goals, we will present articles, books, videos and comments on the benefits of Physical Education in school.

I would have Loved to be able to have swimming in PE; we did things like square dancing and games where we walked on the lines of the gym floor until the music stopped. Swimming would have taught us a valuable skill that we would definately use in later life as well as provide a good cardio and resistance workout. It would be great if every school had a pool.
I know. We had square dancing as well. It must have been a part of the national curriculum or something. We didn't even have a pool at my highschool. I wonder how many elementary schools in GA have pools.
