PE4life Arkansas & Mississippi Focus

 

 

PE4life’s presence in Northwest Arkansas has been developing since the establishment of a PE4life Training Center within the Rogers’ School District in 2007. With 2009 funding from the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas, PE4life was able to open the first regional office, located in the Rogers Activity Center, (RAC) at 315 West Olive St. This unique training center is one of the six centers strategically positioned in the United States.



The current mission of PE4life Arkansas is to serve schools and communities in Arkansas and Mississippi through physical education training referred to as PE4life Training. Attendees include physical education teachers, education and community leaders, as well as corporation health and wellness champions, and parent advocates. PE4life is not a cookie cutter program, but a unique philosophy that integrates into an existing program, enhancing what is already in place.

Summary of Jean Blaydes-Madigan in Madison, MS



 

"WOW! What can I say about our visit to the Rogers PE4life Training Center. The observations of such great teachers, time with real kids and to learn from the experts, plus dream time with our team was wonderful. PE4life has inspired all of us to move forward in Madison County."

"I want to express my appreciation to you and PE4life for the amazing workshop with Jean Blaydes-Madigan here in Madison. We are already seeing some fruit from the conference  by our 4th grade teachers who have begun organizing brain break time. We also allowed all the upper grades to do a run/walk before their testing. That has never happened before. We are catching the vision and it is so exciting to see our school grow and learn about the POWER of EXERCISE!"
