back to school  

To begin the new school year the 3rd and 4th graders will be participating in the FitnessGram fitness testing. The FitnessGram is a comprehensive health-related fitness and activity program that measures muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, as well as cardiovascular endurance. The results will be sent home with each student following completion on the testing this month. Parents- please feel free to review the results of the program with your child and ask them questions about each component!

Grades K, 1, and 2 will begin this year with a screening of motor development, basic locomotor patterns, and directionality. We will play a lot of fun games that are cooperative and get the students up and moving around!
