INTRAMURAL PERMISSION SLIP

"Physical Education is the only subject which, by the very nature of its content has the potential to affect how a person will feel every moment of everyday for the rest of his or her life."

"Physical activity is good not only for the heart, but also for the brain, feeding it glucose and oxygen, and increasing nerve connections, all of which makes it easier for children of all ages to learn. Numerous studies show that children who exercise do better in school."
