PE Department Week of 9/4/07
Published by Wind/Wenzel Blakemore (PE) August 31st, 2007 in Announcements.We hope everyone had a relaxing Labor Day Weekend and you are all ready to go to work! We begin the Presidential Physical Fitness Test this week. This test has a total of 5 events including running the mile, sit-ups, pull-ups, sit and reach (v-sit) and the shuttle run. Grades 2 through 8 will be tested. Grade 2 will only run a 1/4 mile and grade 3 will run a 1/2 mile. Grades 4 through 8 will run the full mile.
If your child has difficulty with running, please send a note and let us know. Children with breathing difficulties and/or asthma, should have their inhalers and medicine in the front office.
All children should have their gym uniforms by now and should be dressed for class. If you have ordered a gym uniform and it has not come in, please let us know. Jr. High students have been informed that coming to class without their gym uniform results in a “uniform code reminder notice”. 3 uniform code reminders in one trimester results in a demerit. Gym uniforms may be kept for an entire week in your student’s locker and taken home on Friday for washing.
As long as the weather cooperates, we will try to get our PE classes outside as much as possible. Have a great week everyone!
