A Message From Mr. Parker
This is certainly an unprecedented and unsettling time. I hope this newsletter finds you all healthy. The current situation certainly pushes health and fitness to the forefront of our thoughts. To that end it is my hope that students will spend a minimum of an hour a day moving/playing/exercising. To aid in keeping students active I have created several home based activities. Use the links below to access the materials.
Students may repeat any of the activities as many times as they like. Students should be participating in these activities at least 3 times per week.

FITNESS MILE
This activity is a diagram of a track which is broken up into segments. Each segment has an exercise listed and 4 circles. A student starts at the designated segment, completes the exercise, colors ONE circle and moves to the next segment. This continues until the student has circled the track 4 times - A fitness mile.
