Hi Good Sports! Our first Physical Fitness Test is moving along. Kindergarten has been doing the "Dash" and First through Sixth Grade has been doing the "Shuttle Run." We have some fast runners in our gym classes! We hope to finish-up and do any re-tests within the next week or so. "Go Team, Fitness is the theme all year in P.E. Class!" We've participated in a variety of fun tag games parachute activities and lately we've been "kickin' it up" for soccer fun and skills practice and great games with friendly competition! We support and promote positive interactions, practice many physical skills and real-life skills, as well. I'm very happy when you participate with me in our Walking Clubs and Fitness Friday Activity. Way to go for good goals, everyone! P.S. Go Phillies!

"Way to go" to those students who participated in the Hershey Track and Field Event recently held at the H.S. stadium-heard great things about you! We'll complete our 4th Marking Pd. with some more Volleyball action and some "Kid's Choice" activities for end of the year fun and finish our discussion of the "Principal's Muscles." Let's have some extra fun together while we finish up with a request or two for our Fitness Friday Activity! I'd like to send lots of "Best Wishes" to our 6th Graders for great success in the future! Good Sports always go far in the game of life! We'll miss you in our Elementary School. For everyone, your homework assignment is to "Keep Exercising" and have a "Happy and Safe Summer!" Sincerely, Miss Brill

All sit-up testing will be completed. We will continue our discussion of "The Principal's Muscles," while we have some fun learning the major muscle groups and how to exercise those muscles for a total body work-out. We will be "setting up" for some Volleyball and other net fun this week in gym class. Let's all go for healthy goals and participate in Walking Clubs and Fitness Friday! I'll be checking in with you to see how you've been working out! Good Sports know how to work-out together!

We will finish our sit-up tests and any other tests that students may have missed. Registration forms are available in the gym for any student born between 1995 and 2000 for the Annual Hershey's Track and Field Event sponsored by Frackville Recreation Board and held at the H.S. stadium on May 17th. We will continue to "play ball" in P.E. class, working on various physical skills as well as life-skills, too. We will begin our discussion of "The Principal's Muscles" while adding some "fun" to learning our major muscle groups. I'll look for everyone's participation in our Walking Clubs and Fitness Friday! Way to go, Good Sports!
