CBS Fit 4 Colorado School Challenge Selects Steele for January Award Recipient  
Steele has been chosen as the January recipient for CBS News 4's Fit for Colorado School Challenge. One school from Colorado a month is chosen for their efforts combining physical education programs, school nutrition programs, and in-school/after-school/outside of school programs to help students build habits toward living a healthy and active lifestyle. Meteorologist Stacey Donaldson will be visiting Steele to present our award on Monday, January 26th at 11:15 during an all-school assembly. Steele will then be featured on the evening news. Read the article and watch Steele's video clip on CBS Fit 4 Colorado School Challenge. Welcome to My Site Welcome to the Steele Elementary School Physical Education page! I am very excited to work with your children in movement, teamwork, social skills, goal-setting, problem-solving, strength, flexibility, and health related issues. Physical Education is very important in a variety of different ways. It's a time where our lifestyle has become increasingly sedentary. Our daily lives are molded by too much screen time (television, computers, video games), and we're replacing fresh foods with processed ingredients (fast-food, enriched white sugar and flour, high fructose corn syrup), then adding a twist of a fast paced society dosed with stress and sleep deprivation. Something has to give. A quality PE program is the single best option to introduce and maintain all of our children's healthy interests on a path toward life-long habits enveloping both physical activity and nutrition. Exercise and activity help people build self-confidence, manage our stress levels, stack our immune systems, helps prevent childhood obesity and its sidekicks Type II Diabetes/sleep apnea/heart disease/stroke, and teaches us to develop life-long habits of nutrition and daily exercise. Please enjoy our site and take some time to read about how important physical activity can be to your childs brain development and their overall physical health. One of my favorite websites to visit is the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) . Another website with more ideas to help your child stay healthy and active is the Parent Resources page on the DPS PE Website.
