Cedar Rapids Adopts New Physical Dimensions Curriculum
Cedar Rapids schools begin a major curriculum shift to Physical Dimensions taught by eight PE teachers this year with training planned for 49 more. The program emphasizes personal safety and stress management and has boosted use of the new fitness center at Xavier as students adopt cardio and weight equipment before and after school. The initiative originated from the Kansas Health Organization amid concerns about rising youth obesity rates.
