During the last month our country has experienced a horrifying
tragedy and numerous related challenges. It has been
fascinating to see how so many people have responded to this tragedy
and so many other challenges that people face. People in this world volunteer time, money and a plethora of
other commitments to help others in time of need. Volunteers
and volunteering just seems to be a positive way of life for so
many.
I would like to introduce you to a set of volunteers that
contribute enormous amounts of time to their profession. You
see their names at the top of each section of PELINKS4U but did you
know that each of these people contributes solely on a volunteer
basis? Over 30 professionals contribute in
an effort to help their profession. Through their efforts,
this publication has grown enormously over the last two years.
It would not be possible without these efforts.
During each of the coming issues beginning with
the October 29 issue, we will highlight one of these volunteers.
If you would like to join our growing, volunteer staff, please
contact me. Otherwise, I hope that you will support these
workers by providing feedback and also potential news information
that will help our profession worldwide.

received a letter this week from a reader who reported that physical
fitness aided the escape of some people from New York's Twin Towers.
In this section, editor
Ron Hager, writes in his editorial about the life-saving value
of teaching children first aid
|
|
|
Children need to be taught to "STOP, DROP AND ROLL" if their clothing
catches on fire. Teachers should have them demonstrate and practice.
|
|
|
Because over 80% of children's physical activity occurs outside of
physical education should physical educators do more to link schools
and the community? |
