After 12 issues, the newly designed PELINKS4U is attracting an average of 150 visits to this main page and sometimes over 2000 site visits daily - not bad for such a new idea! Of course our goal is to bring this resource to the attention of ALL PE, Health, and Fitness professionals and in this endeavor we greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word. This issue of PELINKS4U is special because we have gone back and collected some of our favorite items from previous editions. Over the holidays you now have the chance to review information you may have missed earlier or just needed time to digest. This issue will also be the last of 1999. Our family has spent a year planning to celebrate the new millennium on snowboards in Switzerland! Barring the unexpected, the PELINKS4U creators are planning to be back with a new edition on January 8th. Thanks again for your support and comments. We look forward to continuing to provide resources to help you motivate children into healthy and active lifestyles. Steve Jefferies & the PELINKS4U Creators PE Advocacy PE Web Site of the Century!

Why not surprise a colleague? Children Live What They Learn by Dorothy Law Nolte If a child learns to life with encouragement, He learns confidence. If a child learns to live with praise, He learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, He learns justice. If a child lives with security, He learns faith. If a child lives with approval, He learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, He learns to love the world. PE Web Chat In January, we are planning a new PE chat room.
