Happy summer, PE Nation!!!

I'm excited about the new program I want to start in the fall. The Next Level Leadership program transforms PE grading through a martial arts-inspired wristband system that recognizes and develops student leadership qualities beyond athletic skill.

• Designed to reward students who demonstrate leadership, helpfulness, and good character
• Five belt levels (white, green, orange, purple, black) with increasing leadership requirements
• Program benefits include becoming field day helpers, safety patrol members, and game captains
• Focus on developing the whole child rather than just athletic ability
• White belt (beginner) requires respect, responsibility, and safety
• Green belt (awesome) requires 100% effort and good sportsmanship
• Orange belt (hero) demonstrates game knowledge and consistent helpfulness
• Purple belt (elite) requires two years of demonstrated leadership
• Black belt (ninja) reserved for fifth graders who could "run the class"
• Program designed to work over three years (grades 3-5)

Take care,

Dave
