ASES SPARK
From the Physical Education Model Content Standards for California Public Schools:
"According to the U.S. Surgeon General, regular physical activity is one of the most important ways to maintain and improve one’s physical health, mental health, and overall well-being. A student who participates in physical education is more likely to become a healthy adult who is motivated to remain healthy and physically active throughout his or her life.
The physical education model content standards represent the essential skills and knowledge that all students need to maintain a physically active, healthy lifestyle. California law clearly establishes the priority of physical education instruction. Education Code Section 51210 requires 200 minutes of physical education every ten school days for students in grades one through six."
At High Desert Leapin' Lizards, we want afterschool students to get a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity a day,
but we also want that 20 minutes to be fun.
We believe that physical education that is fun and engaging creates a positive connection to physical activity,
and is more likely to build students with lifelong healthy habits.
