Obituary
RIP PE
1855-2015
Physical Education, 160, of the United States of America passed away
Monday, March 23, 2015 in the schools of America. Physical Education
worked in the schools for 160 years. Survivors include all the physical
education teachers and students. Survivors also include all of the
supporting parents, teachers, principals, and school board members.
Physical Education was preceded in death by its founders; Catherine
Beecher, Dio Lewis, Edward Hitchcock, and Dudley Allen Sargent.
Physical Education fought hard all the way to the end of its life and
just wanted to make a positive impact in the lives of its students.
Physical Education promoted physical fitness, health, nutrition, and
academics in the classroom. Physical Education helped millions of
students stay physically active throughout their lives and helped them
become more social through physical activities. Today is a sad day for
all of the children of the World and the passing of Physical Education
will have a drastic impact on education, even if it is not realized right
away. A celebration of life service will be held 11:30 a.m. Thursday,
March 26, 2015, at James Madison University in Godwin room 353.

Physical Education Advocacy

By Aaron Newmarker
Physical Education is often looked at as a joke
And many schools cut it, when they start to get
broke
Yeah, your memories of PE may not be all great
Your teacher was lazy, and likely overweight,
And the last thing they did was to
help to motivate
Intimidating fitness tests is what they create
And in front of the whole class, they'd scream out
your weight
Wow Johnny, you weigh 288!
Walking back with the other students starring and
chuckling
This just makes him feel like the ugly duckling
And because of that, Johnny will grow up to hate
PE and exercise
But this common situation is just a disguise,
For what a good program can bring to the table
We will not settle for this kind of label
We as advocates have something to say
PE isn't something that you can just throw away
We are teaching your kids about health and
getting exercise,
And how ordering apple slices is better than fries.
We teach kids how to live a better lifestyle,
Before our class, they had never even heard
about bile.

Yes, it is a great time to put all of your stresses

away
But it's not just about coming in to mess around
and play
Soccer, basketball, volleyball, and having a field
day,
It can actually help you write a better essay.
Do you actually know the benefits of having good
PE?
It can raise your test scores from a D to a B
You see, it is proven to help with grades in all of
your subjects,
But we teach so much more than that, safe sex,
Tobacco, drug, and alcohol abuse,
These are the topics students always see on the
news.
The rules of driving, and what it means to be burnt
out,
These are all subjects of what being a PE Teacher
is all about.
We give the students a broader range of
knowledge,
And all we want is for you people to acknowledge,
That PE is just as important as the "core subjects"
And the information we teach certainly has some
affects.
The new breed of teachers are finally here
And the old way of doing things are going to
disappear
Now about your excuse of why PE must go,
