Candace has taught physical education for thirteen years and received a PFA grant in 1997 for her school, Bessemer Elementary, in Greensboro, North Carolina. She has created an exemplary model of fitness in education. We want to share her creativity in her lesson plans with all our PFA teachers across the country and archive her work for our future PFA schools and teachers. The lesson plans we are showcasing are unique in that she has used suggestions from students. In addition, the lesson plans require little equipment and few directions, but most of all they are fun.

In Candace’ s quest to create the best physical fitness program for her students, she has become a model, a real All Star Teacher and we are proud to have our program under her auspices.

Congratulations Candace! As we begin 2001 we thank you for your leadership, dedication and care for the health and wellness of our nation’s youth.
