*** Wednesday, 3/20 and Friday, 3/22 – Presidential Fitness ***
Malcom’s 9th Annual Presidential Fitness Challenge test event is going to be held on Wednesday, March 20 and Friday, March 22, 2013. This program focuses on improving the five fitness skills which are the core for many physical education activities and student fitness. These skills are curl-ups, shuttle run, pull-ups, V-sit/reach, and the endurance run. Students have been practicing these skills in their class during their physical education time. Our goal is to have every child improve his or her fitness level this year.
