Hi Good Sports and Families,
February is Heart Month and we are always in search of Healthy Hearts in P.E. Class and to continue providing motivation to exercise every day. Students were invited to take a Fitness Challenge/Circuit Training Course, where they learned facts about the Heart and circulation system, lung power, cholesterol, white blood cells and so on.
Students were timed and later reported how many times they completed the course. They touched the picture of the heart on the gym wall with each successful completion. We checked our pulse before and after to see the impact of proper exercise for ultimate benefits. Everyone was rewarded with heart, smiley, or star stickers for achieving their search for healthy hearts in our class.
I am so happy to report we reached our goals in our Jump Rope for Heart Fund-raiser. Our P.E. Dept. will be receiving a gift certificate to be used for needed equipment. We have a great team at NSE. Our staff, students, families, and total community of friends came through super generosity and kindness in supporting our cause for the American Heart Association. You are all awesome! Thank you. Your efforts will help many with heart problems to be mended and recover.
We are continuing our Fitness testing, as always, and will move on to the next test as soon as we tie up some ends. During any and all P.E. classes, adaptations are made on the spot to help all students feel successful.
Remember to exercise with me on Fitness Friday and keep reaching for healthy fitness goals! Go Team!!! See you soon.
Sincerely,
Miss Brill
