Student Success Statement

Physical Fitness

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: the intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

-President John F. Kennedy

     This quote makes sense because a healthy body means a healthy mind. Physical fitness is necessary to have a healthy body, creating a healthy, intellectual mind.
