Physical Education Newsletters

Physical Education Newsletters - GET ONE!

 
It’s imperative that you share updates about your program with your parents and community, and a newsletter is a great way to distribute that information. Here are some tips on getting your newsletter up and going.


Getting started:
  • Before you even begin creating your newsletter, you should decide its frequency, purpose, and distribution method (eNewsletter vs. printed newsletter).
  • Use Microsoft Word or Publisher (or whatever word processor you prefer) to find a template. There are dozens to choose from, just be sure to customize it with your school colors and logo.
     

What to include:

  • Info about upcoming events, fundraisers, etc. Plus, recaps from past events.
  • Your department's mission.
  • Articles/research about physical education, physical activity, childhood obesity, technology, health, nutrition, etc. Follow PE4life on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest news in our field.
  • Quotes from students about why your PE class is awesome.
  • Guest post from other school faculty (parent, principal, school nurse, etc.).
  • Call for support. Need volunteers in the gym? Help writing a grant? Now’s your time to ask.
  • Information about PE4life. Use our boiler plate (below) and logo to show your parents and community that physical education and YOUR program are a part of something bigger than just your school.

  • Provide a safe and encouraging learning environment
  • Utilize individual assessments
  • Incorporate current technology
  • Extend PE beyond the walls of the gymnasium
