Students
will be participating in the FitnessGram this week in Wellness and Physical
Education. Please remind your child to bring appropriate attire (sneakers
and athletic clothing). There is a running component to the FitnessGram,
if your child has an inhaler please remind him/her to have it on hand.
The FitnessGram assessment is based not on athletic ability,
but levels of fitness needed for good overall health. No matter what your
children grow up to become, they will live happier, more productive lives if
they are healthy--and physical fitness is vital to overall health. People
come in all shapes and sizes, but everyone can benefit from regular physical
activity and healthy levels of physical fitness. We will evaluates the
five components of health-related fitness:Aerobic Capacity, Muscular Strength,
Muscular Endurance, and Flexibility. Students will be assessed in
January and then again in June.
