The First Lady made an exciting announcement on Dr Oz’s stage about the Let’s Move program! They are partnering to create Active Schools and challenging 50,000 schools to become more active!

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan joined the First Lady and Dr. Oz to talk about improving the physical fitness programs in our schools. Michelle Obama shared the statistic that the average child spends seven hours a day in front of some sort of screen and only about 10% of our public schools have P.E. (physical education) class for students. She added that our kids need at least 60 minutes of movement every day, but they simply are not getting it. Arne Duncan believes that regardless of tight budgets we do not need to choose whether academics are more important than physical education where our kids are concerned. They should be considered equally beneficial because they actually enforce one another.
