"Get Bosco, Get Mooving... Family Fitness Fun Program"

Fall 2002

Dear Educator / Parent:

As a Physical Education Teacher for 20 years, I recognize that our jobs as educators and parents are vital to the health and well being of our youth.  I have created a program along with my friends at BOSCO ® that makes fitness fun and exciting. The program motivates children to exercise due to the high levels of success. When your child reaches their fitness goal, please print out a certificate from this site and hang it proudly on your refrigerator door!

• Many parents do not want their children playing outside alone anymore without supervision.
• Many children ride the bus rather than walk to school.
• Town recreation departments have been experiencing budget cuts.
• Children are spending more time in front of the TV and computer than playing recreationally.
• Both parents work which creates less time for family fitness and recreation.
• Sadly, many PE programs have been cut.

What can you do?

It is important to support PE in your school system.  Talk with your school's PE teacher to see what sports and fitness skills your child enjoys.  Make sure your school has a certified PE instructor teaching the classes.  Use this program at your school and home to motivate your children to exercise!

The Family Fitness Fun program encourages children (kindergarten through sixth grade) to get moving and to have fun by setting fitness goals on a checklist and then reporting on their success.  The program is customized to children's likes and dislikes, their ages, and their abilities.

Please read over our web site and see for yourself how exciting, beneficial, and rewarding this program will be to your children.  BOSCO ® puts a great product on the supermarket shelves as well as in this fitness program.
