During my physical activity and fitness programming class at SUNY Cortland, I was responsible for publishing a school newsletter from the physical education department to send home to parents. I sub at an elementary school which is known as the Pandas. I decided to name the newsletter, The Panda Print. The goal of this newsletter was to try and bring more awareness to health and fitness at home.

One of the main challenges was recognizing constraints within the district. One of the main constraints for families within the Syracuse City School District is money and accessibility. All students in the Syracuse City School District are given a free lunch and breakfast everyday. I thought this was great because Syracuse has the highest rate of child poverty in the United States. My main goal with this newsletter was to provide accessible, affordable and logical solutions to bring a healthy lifestyle to children's homes and make sustainable ideas to families' homes.
