Quick Action Needed: FIT kids vote in 48 Hours
The Fitness Integrated with Teaching Kids Act is on the move!
In 48 hours, the House of Representatives will vote on the FIT Kids Act, which promotes increased quality physical education (PE) in our nation's schools. Which means.. It's time to act!
URGE your representative to vote YES in support of FIT kids!
Currently only 3.8% of elementary, 7.9% of middle, and 2.1% of high schools provide daily PE0 and shokingly, only 22% of schools do not require students to take any PE at all. But with childhood obesity greatly impacting the health of our nation's kids, we must expect more.
The FIT Kids Act would help us take a step in the right direction by establishing a framework for schools to closely look at the quality and quantity of PE they are providing, and to supply parents with that information to better understand the PE their kids are receiving.
The vote on Wednesday is a critical hurdle in advancing the bill, so we need your quick action today!
Send your email now to let your Representative know you are on his/her support of quality PE
