Cardio-Fitness Challenge

         Once a month the PE department will challenge our students to run/walk a mile in 9 minutes or less.   The students are only asked to do their best,  and in doing so we hope to improve cardio-vascular fitness throughout the year.   

Remember.....                         

If you don't do what's best for your body, your'e the one who comes up on the short end.                

                                                                                                ~Julius  Erving

           If you are ill or have an injury:

 

Parents, please send a signed note explaining the nature of the medical condition and indicate whether the child should be completely exempt or allowed limited participation in P.E. If the illness or injury exceeds 1 week, please bring in a signed note from a doctor.
