Fun Stuff for Physical Education #93
March 25, 2010
Editor's Note
I'd like to announce some big changes, both in the Fun Stuff Newsletter and on the PE Update website! What changes? Basically, more free content! All the articles on the home page of PE Update.com are now available to non-members. That's right, FREE of charge! We constantly add new content, and as a new article is added to the top of the page, the article at the bottom will move into our Archives, where it will be available to members-only. This Fun Stuff newsletter will update you on what free articles have been added to the site, and also let you know about new products that are available. I hope you'll find it useful! Dick Moss, Editor
