Michelle Obama, whose advocacy for fitness and nutrition have been a cornerstone of her work as First Lady, will appear on the nationally Syndicated The Dr. Oz Show on the third anniversary of her monumental "Let's Move!" campaign. Joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the First Lady will discuss how physical activity affects children's health and academic achievement. The episode will air Thursday, February 28, to coincide with a major announcement about bringing physical activity back to schools, to be made by Mrs. Obama and Secretary Duncan.
