What the School is Doing to Improve Student Fitness

While the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young adults get at least sixty minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity almost every day of the week, the chilly jaunt to and from school is hardly enough exercise to stimulate the creative spirit and foster students’ well being.

Plus tax, because, after all, feminine "hygiene" products are a luxury, kind of like a sailboat or a fancy red car, don't you think?
