90% of PHS Freshmen Improve FitnessGram Scores

phs-floorThe Freshman Physical Education class has been very busy this semester. Last week we took the Fitness-Gram for the second time and over 90% of the students improved on their scores from the beginning of the school year.

We are now in our Badminton Unit, which everyone enjoys. Students are learning new skills everyday. We teach both doubles and singles so everyone is excited about the tournament that will be held at the end of the unit.

Heart Rate Days include working out on the Universal Circuit Training Equipment upstairs on the balcony. All students were instructed on how to use the equipment which was donated. This circuit gives students the opportunity to work out on equipment that only they would find in a health club. All students look forward to working out and are seeing some positive results.

Our next unit is swimming which will begin after Thanksgiving Break.
