Presidential Fitness Testing Starts Monday

Children in grades 1-6 will be participating in Presidential Fitness Testing during the weeks of April 15-18 and April 22-25 during scheduled PE times.  One of our primary goals is to encourage and promote healthy and active lifestyles among our students. 

The Presidential Fitness Test measures children’s level of physical fitness  (strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance) in five activities:

Sit-ups

Shuttle run

Push-ups

 Sit and Reach

 Endurance Run/Walk

In order to make the fitness test run as smoothly as possible, and be enjoyable for the children, we would appreciate your help in reminding your child to wear appropriate clothing on his/her PE day.  Class PE schedules are as follows:
