NATIONAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT WEEK, MAY 1-7

Date published: April 23, 2007

You've been waiting and now it's here! Each year the Public Relations Committee of the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) develops special integrated activities for you and your class to do during National Physical Education and Sport Week, May 1-7, and provides you with ideas to help promote this special week within your school and community. The theme, "Active In America," is designed to share cultural related activities that will help students learn about America while traveling across this great country. We hope you will enjoy sharing the following activities with your students and colleagues. They were developed to help teachers creatively integrate lessons while teaching national and state standards for physical education. The 2007 National Physical Education and Sport Week website can now be viewed at

In NASPE's May Teacher Toolbox you will also find the popular fitness calenders for elementary and secondary levels in both English and Spanish, a proclamation for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month and a sample press release to send to your local media.
