Physical Activity Participation

On August 23rd, Longfellow held an NFL Pass, Punt and Kick event at our school. The event was a great success with over 60 students in grades 3,4 and 5 participating. To prepare for the event, students practiced their pass, punt, kick at recess and during stations at PE class. All students received a participation certificate and winners received ribbons and Fuel up to Play 60 bags.

How did you accomplish your goals?

The goal with this event was to get our students active during recess and try something new. None of our students had ever participated in a pass, punt and kick contest. This is why we had this event during school so if a student wanted to be involved in the contest they had the opportunity. All four of our winners will be moving on to the next contest in October. The students had a great time and we plan to hold the event again next year.
