Presidents Fitness Challenge next week

Just a quick note on the President's Fitness Challenge, which will be held next week for 7th and 8th students.

The students will be tested on 5 different areas:
1.  Endurance - Mile Run
2. Quickness - Shuttle Run
3. Core Strength - Sit ups
4. Upper Body Strength - Pull Ups
5. Flexibility - Sit and Reach

We like to use this as a baseline for the start of the school year, and then re-test again at the end of the school year and see who has improved, and by how much.

Also check the blog next week to see who some of the top performers are in each of the tests.

In addition, this year we will be handing out "I beat Mr. Harming!" Awards to any student in 7th or 8th grade who runs a faster mile time than I do.
