HEALTHY LESSONS FOR A LIFETIME

PE 4 ME is an innovative health and fitness program that addresses the rising trend in childhood obesity through a
school-based intervention model. The program is offered through the St. Joseph Health System and the
Orange County Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (CA4, AAP).

Students participate in the program at no cost to them, their family
or their school for the academic school year.

The mission of PE 4 ME is to improve the health and physical fitness of children through age-appropriatephysical and nutritional education and to ensure children have access to a medical home. By improving the physical fitness and overall health of participating students, we can enhance their academic performance, self esteem, and promote an overall healthier lifestyle that can carry them into adulthood.
