Testimonials of Success from the Northwest Arkansas Region
The impact PE4life has made on our student achievement is incredible! After one year of implementation, we noticed a significant decrease in student’s missing assignments, failing grades, and discipline referrals and our Benchmark scores continue to increase each year. PE4life has made our school a better place in so many positive ways."
Angela Coats, Principal Hellstern Middle School, Springdale AR
Northwest Arkansas has concentrated on improving its public schools to compete with the best systems in the country, and that objective is well on its way to reality. PE4life is a program that prepares our students, both mentally and physically to take advantage of the educational opportunities avaliable to them. Test scores show that as they participate in the program, academic results improve dramatically and our students are much more prepared to adjust to the challenges dacing them as they enter today’s workplace."
Ed Clifford, President Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce
Through the daily PE4life program, my students are learning how becoming physically fit is life changing. This change is not confined only to the classroom, but taken home ot their families, which creates better health and wellness at home and an increase in physical activity outside the school through comminity center programs. It is as win-win situation for the entire family."
Mary Bryant, Physical Education Instructor, Kirksey Middle School, Rogers AR
The Rogers Activity Center is part of the reason our community is an awesome place to live, work and play. This success is largely made possible by the community partners joining together. Adding PE4life to our list of collaborative partners has not only enhanced our existing programs but joined in the development of new opportunities. We believe other communities can benefit from this developing Community Center Model."
Coleta Paris, Director of Rogers Activity Center, Rogers AR
I strongly believe that when students graduate high school, they should have acquired a solid foundation of lifetime activity choices. A comprehensive physical education programs should introduce a variety of interesting untils that will appeal to a larger number of students. The PE4life philosophy addresses these needs with an emphasis on personal and social behavior, resulting in positive lifeling habits and each student taking responsibility for his/her well-being."
