Dear Parents, CA Ed Code 51210

I am pleased to be sending this It is not a secret that our society as a

letter to you and I am very excited at the
opportunity to help teach your children
the value of physical education not only
this year, but for the rest of their lives.
Physical Education (P.E.) is so important
for your child and this exposure at a
young age can hopefully influence a
long and healthy lifestyle for the years to
come. Integrating P.E. into different
aspect of a childs schooling not only
leads to healthy habits, but it can also
reinforce the learning process and can
even make learning more
enjoyable.
Giving your children a mindset for good
health at a young age is crucial in
developing a healthy future and I am
very proud to have that honor this year.
whole is becoming more and more unfit.
This large rise in obesity is having a
serious impact on the health of our
children. CA Ed Code 51210 is a step in
the right direction towards fighting this
growing problem from a young age.
Studies support this idea and continue to
show that a vast majority of children
today are unfit. This code states that
children in grades 1-6 should have at
least 200 minutes of physical activity
every 10 schooldays. Studies have
shown that childhood obesity and related
illness has more than doubled in the past
30 years and is continuing to get worse.
Nearly 40 percent of children between
the ages of 5-8 have health conditions
that drastically increase the likelihood of
heart disease. CA Ed Code 51210 is an
attempt to bring awareness to this
growing issue and begin to give our
students the proper physical education
that they need and deserve.

Sincerely
Mr. Collison
