New Phys Ed Studies Say There's More Work to Do
Despite concerns that US education policy over the past 2 decades may be squeezing out opportunities for physical activity in school, it turns out that average student attendance in physical education (PE) classes hasn't dropped since the mid-1990s—but then again, it hasn't increased either and remains below recommended levels. Those were among the conclusions in a pair of recently completed studies that also found public schools not fully embracing policies that could improve their PE programs.
Researchers found that the percentage of students attending 1 or more PE classes per week continues to hover at around 50%--more or less the same rate reported since tracking began in 1991. The latest data, from 2015, puts the average number of days a high schooler attends PE classes at 4.11 per week; however, nearly half (48.4%) of students reported attending no PE classes on average. Only 29.8% of students reported attending the recommended 5 days of PE per week.
"This study is a reminder of the overall lack of progress in improving the well-being of our children by incorporating more movement in schools," Green Guerrero said. "There are progressive policies out there, but these reports show that what's needed is more advocacy in our own communities for their adoption. We can develop any number of great ideas, but without implementation we'll continue to see an increasingly unhealthy population of children of all backgrounds."
At a time when the national childhood obesity rate is now 18.5%, the
importance of activity is more critical than ever.
The rate varies among different age groups and rises as children get older: 13.9% of 2- to 5-year-olds, 18.4% of 6- to 11-year-olds and 20.6% of 12- to 19-year-olds have obesity.
Unplug those screens and take a walk as a family, there is nothing better than getting outside daily!

SOFO
Greenscape was a huge success!
In case you haven't noticed, the triangle on the corner of Bay Ridge Road and Avenue got a facelift in May.
With the help of a dozen volunteers from SOFO and Garden Girls, we were able to plant over 50 plants and transform this tired space into a beautiful garden. Stay tuned for the wildflowers blooming this summer! In addition, the long awaited artwork for the fence in front of Annapolis Middle School was installed this past Wednesday. Be sure to check out all of our business association's efforts to beautify our corridor!
