Dodge Ball -- Dodge Disease

I think that all TMS students should have gym! Gym is an awesome thing that can get kids motivated! Did you know that tons of kids do not have Gym? Why is this you ask, it is caused by child obesity. Based on a study from 2003-2006, 16.3% were obese. Being obese may cause Diabetes, Heart disease, or even Stroke. Chronic diseases accounted 5 out of 6 deaths in 2002. Regular physical activity can reduce the risk.

Did you also know that more and more students are not being able to get the wonders of gym? In gym every day is filled with fun. On Mondays you get to work out and play. Gym is fun especially fun when we play dodge ball, or even other fun games and activities!
Gym isn’t hard or bad. It’s an opportunity to have fun play games and blow off steam from the day! It gives you a chance to talk with friends and play around at the same time.

I think that gym is an incredible chance to get out and be active and have great fun, and workout, too! And who knows? It might save a life.
