Leslie True has over twenty years of teaching as a Physical Education Specialist. She has taught at Lydia Hawk Elementary Schools since 1989 and received a PFA grant in 1998. Leslie is one of the original pioneer teachers of our program in field. She was the first school to take the original programming and ideas of our first All Star Teacher and now PFA In-Field Supervisor, Steve Cox, and demonstrate how well they could be duplicated in different school settings. She showed us through her programming that these newly developed challenges and techniques of the Project Fit America program can blend and augment into the finest of physical education programming. She modeled all that she was trained by PFA and then took the ideas and made them her own. Pulling in parent volunteers starting and maintaining excellent noon-time fitness club activities that remain valid and in place to this day, some six years later.

Her own innovation and grass roots efforts to create programming at her school earned her the role of becoming an In-Field Trainer with Project Fit America. She has a giant 3-ring binder of wonderful messages, games and challenges she has created and has adapted to doing “PFA Style” and has gone all over the country with us. She is fire cracker of ideas, energy and commitment and brings the maturity of her years of teaching to help the next generation of PFA teachers just getting our program started. Leslie is an All –Star Teacher’s, All Star Teacher!
