A #USF program is offering local K-5 homeschool students a chance to stay active with a free weekly physical education class. Every Wednesday in the USF Recreation Center’s east gym, kids get a place to move and play—while USF College of Education physical education majors gain hands-on experience that prepares them for their future careers. 🔗 Learn more: ow.ly/2w4q50XwZ5X
