Implementing Fitness and Character Education Programs
Implementation in Public Schools
Who to Select
Generally speaking, participating students with following: low self esteem, lack of father figure or mentor, anger or disciplinary issues, quiet and shy, overweight and willing to do something about it, single parent, bully or been bullied … should give you an idea of some of the students who usually get selected for FACE.
I usually recommend that 10-12 students are ideal, with maximum of 15. I suggest keeping it either all one grade [ie, 4th or 5th] or keep students within a 3 year gap [don’t combine 2nd grade and 5th grade]. If you do combine boys/girls, then suggest that you have at least 2-3 minimum of male/female…so an individual boy or girl is not alone. Each school is different, as glad to discuss more.

Prior to Start Date
PLEASE email an electronic list of names for the FACE program prior to the start day in late September.
Each school contact should let me know if there are any special circumstances about any of the students - ie, death in family, history of anger issues, lacking parental direction, etc.
This can be done in person the day of first class or prior via email or phone.

Room Requirements
The room needs to be an open area [ie, multi-purpose room, cafeteria floor, empty classroom with space, etc.] where students can do their exercises [animal games, jump rope, juggling, etc.] while also having floor or seats for the public speaking section.
The program can be shortened if needed or start 15 minutes earlier/later if concerns with lunch times or classes.
We are making a commitment to Make a Difference for Schools during the 2023-2024 school year. Safety and social distancing is easily implemented within the FACE program.

The Poem "I WILL WIN" will need to have 15-20 copies [a few extra, as many students will lose their sheet after the first week]. Please have them ready at the front desk on the first day of FACE class.
They will recite the poem during graduation along with the award ceremony and program overview for parents, administrators and peers.
The following Downloadables are files that can be used, and let us know if you need a customized letter for your school.
