May 2009 Fitness Month Tips

YOU CAN BE THE VOICE OF CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA!

We are currently conducting a survey to assess physical education in California.
Are you a PE teacher or an elementary teacher asked to teach PE? Please take a brief, 10-minute survey online for a chance to win $100 Visa card. (PE teachers, or those asked to teach PE, only.) Your feedback will feed policy recommendations to state legislators!
