Physical Fitness Testing
Fitness testing will be taking place the first week of May. Make sure your child is getting exercise at home – remember at least 10,000 steps a day and an hour a day of physical activity. Also, have them show you how to do a push-up and check their form – they need to keep their body straight and bend their arms to a 90 degree angle.
5th – 6th Grade Track Meet
The fifth and sixth graders are participating in a track meet in April and May during their PE class. They are learning about the different track events and competing against the other grade; boys vs. boys, and girls vs. girls. Keep an eye on the Ledger for results
Luau
Time – May 21st
The annual Field Day will be held on the last day of school with LUAU as the theme this year. The 6th graders will be running the events, and the rest of the elementary students will be put into teams, each led by a 5th grader. The field day will start at 8:40 and end at 11:15 with school being dismissed at 11:30. Parents, friends and family members are encouraged to come and watch, but will not be allowed to participate.
Have a wonderful summer and be sure to get outside and exercise!
