This week we are collecting, the last few, of our letters, that were sent home to parents and students, regarding POLAR Heart Rate Monitors. Rollout for student use, begins September 6th. These letters MUST be signed by student and parents, in order for students to use the heart rate monitors.

 

Introductory Lessons will begin in using the POLAR Heart Rate monitors. This will include, students understanding of their individual Target Heart Rate Zone

 

In addition, we will continue fitness testing, using the FitnessGram protocol. Pacer Run will be introduced, and ALL make-ups for Sit and Reach, Pull Ups, Push Ups and Sit Ups, will be administered. Mile Run will be completed in early October, before Fall Break.

 

Our fitness program, also includes our Final Four Challenge, where students have the opportunity, to earn dry-fit shirts, that they may wear during PE class, instead of the gray t-shirt. Students will be notified, IF they have completed ALL requirements to earn a Final Four shirt, once they have submitted their Mile Run times.
