Physical Activity Participation

Pemberton Elementary had an afterschool cross country team at our school for the first time this year. The students ran up to two miles at practices after school twice a week. We had two meets against another school, where the students displayed great teamwork and sportsmanship. The students' classmates even came out to cheer them on!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Three teachers helped with practices and ran with the students every practice after school. The adults ran the relays, games, and worked with the students to improve their endurance running.
