Shannon Miller | Active Schools

Shannon Miller remains the most decorated Olympic gymnast in American history with seven Olympic medals! She is an advocate for the health and wellness of women and children and a mother of two.

“I joined the quest to encourage schools to put more emphasis on physical education in 2007, and my interest in this area has gone up each year. I am proud to serve as an ambassador for the Active Schools movement to ensure that K-12 schools provide physical education and before, during and after school physical activity each day for a total of at least 60 minutes. For many children, school may be their best opportunity to be physically active and to learn to play a variety of sports. Physical activity is an important part of our children’s physical and mental development, so it’s critical that we make it a priority in the school day.”
