My daughter is in 2nd grade at Grundy Center Elementary and I am SO pleased with the PE4life program here! Being
introduced to physical education at a young age is crucial to the development of life long exercise habits. My
husband and I have observed (even participated with) our daughter's class and it is a great workout! This is not the
gym class of my childhood where we were sent to "burn off energy". This is an educational experience that focuses on
overall health and fitness. I am proud and thankful to live in a community where our children's fitness is held in such
high regards!

As a child, my favorite subject was always recess… today, my third
grader’s response is P.E! The PE4Life program incorporates much more than the ‘traditional’ gym class. Well-being
of body and mind are emphasized and children are given the tools necessary to live an active, healthy lifestyle. I appreciate
the efforts of the Grundy Center School District and the teachers involved in the PE4Life program. I am thrilled that while
many school districts across the nation are cutting out the P.E. portion of school, viewing it as not necessary, our school
realizes that to have students excel, not only academically but in life, they need to be healthy and fit.
