Greetings from the Fitness and Health department. We spent the first few weeks of fitness class completing our fitness testing which included Pacer test, Mile run, Sit and Reach, Pull up, Sit ups, Push up and Shuttle Run. All test scores were recorded and input into  our Fitnessgram program. During students health classes all students  received a print out of their scores that reflects where they fall on a scale of the Healthy Fitness Zone. Here is a website where you can find more information.   FItnessgram Parent Information

Since completing fitness testing we have moved to starting our health rotations. In health 6th grade is working on goal setting, 7th is learning about nutrition and 8th is studying exercise science. In the gym students are working on cardiovascular endurance and some sports such as football, ultimate frisbee and soccer. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.

Yours in Fitness & Health,
