Community Involvement

We were thrilled to participate this year in the 1st Annual Kid Fitband Challenge! Our fifth grade students wore a fitness band and tracked their daily fitness and activity. It was a great learning experience for all! I know that the students learned a lot about their fitness levels and gained knowledge about how to stay fit for a lifetime!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

The students worked on their activities at school and then on their own at home, after school. The adults were a support to the students by giving them ideas on how to increase their activities.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We have continued to discuss activities that the students are participating in outside of school. We are also incorporating activities in PE that students can take home and repeat on their own.
