Rep. Biggert Co-Sponsors FIT Kids Legislation!


As you know, the FIT Kids Act (S. 634/H.R. 1585) is legislation that amends the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act to support quality physical education for all public school children and ensure they learn about important health and nutritional information. Recently, U.S. Representative Judy Biggert co-sponsored this legislation showing that physical education and nutrition is vital for kids in Illinois and nationwide. Rep. Biggert's co-sponsorship is vital as she helped originally craft NCLB and serves on the Education and Labor Committee, which will help move forward the FIT Kids legislation.
Follow the link below or call to thank Representative Biggert for being a leader on this important legislation:

Call Rep. Biggert at 630-655-2052 to Thank Her for Co-sponsoring the Fit Kids Act.
The message is simple: Thank You for Supporting the Fit Kids Act.
