Monday! Sept. 12th

Great win by my San Diego Chargers yesterday, defeating the Minnesota Vikings.
If they'd have lost that one, I'd have never heard the end of it.

Sioux Falls Half Marathon went pretty well.  I've run much faster before, but it certainly could have been worse.  Click on the link if you want to look anyone up.

I beat Mr. Harming Club is uploaded to the internet, just click the link.
However, there may be an addition or two, as we have a few who need to take it yet.

Classroom work today, JH Health Classes are going to start doing some textbook work.

HS Personal Fitness is weighing in, and testing pull ups and situps today.

Hope everyone has a great start to their week!

Mr. Harming's Mile time

Worst timed mile I've run, in I don't know how long.

7:00

Even though I ran much faster in May, and just a month ago I do two back to back BOTH faster than that, I will let it stand.

Any JH student who beats that time, gets an "I beat Mr. Harming" Certificate.

President's Fitness Challenge starts today...

Today all JH students will begin the President's Fitness Challenge.

I will do my "mile run" tomorrow after school.  Any student who runs a faster time than will will get a "I beat Mr. Harming" certificate.

High School Personal Fitness will be having fitness workouts today.

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.
