I believe our brains and our bodies are more closely and inextricably connected than we can even imagine, and any proper education must teach students the skills, the importance, and the joy of movement! Our elementary PE teacher, Sherry Penland, could stand on the side of the field and bark at the kids to "Run!" because "It's good for you!" . . . or she could make an event (the Shamrock Shuffle) that is so fun the kids run laps without even really knowing they're "exercising."
Thank you Ms. Sherry for the art and creativity you bring to your work with our kids! and for keeping them moving with smiles on their faces!
