“Exercise and youth obesity”-
* Today, obesity is one of the most pressing health concerns for our children. More than one-third of children and teens, approximately 25 million kids, are overweight or obese—and physical inactivity is a leading contributor to the epidemic. The Surgeon General recommends children should engage in 60 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week, yet estimates show that only 3.8 percent of elementary schools provide daily physical education (PE).
* According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the problem of teenage obesity is now at its highest level in U.S. history. About 15% of teens are obese today, compared to just 5% in the 1960s.
* Students of Bright Futures Academy receive Physical Education Classes 5 days a week, outside for a 50 minute period every day for the ENTIRE school year.
* Students of BFA receive 50 minutes of lunch/ outside time every day for the entire school year.
* To make this a reality BFA teachers volunteer 1 extra hour every school day.
