Fitness Testing will begin at the end of September and early October, 2013!
It takes guts and determination to compete in three of the President’s Challenge Physical Fitness Test. These students are really testing their limits, and we’re proud of them. That’s why the President’s Challenge offers awards for students at all levels of fitness.
Presidential Physical Fitness Award Wow! These kids are seriously fit! This award recognizes students who achieve an outstanding level of physical fitness. To earn this award, students must score at or above the 85th percentile on all five activities, based on our award benchmarks. National Physical Fitness Award Impressive! These kids clearly have a great fundamental level of fitness. Students earn this award for scoring above the 50th percentile on all five activities, based on our award benchmarks.
At Kenneth Murphy Elementary, we test 2nd through 5th graders on the "KM Mile", Shuttle Run and Sit Ups. The testing usually takes about two to three weeks to complete the test and this year's results are far beyond our expectations. About 97 percent of our students have completed the mile run under the 12 minute time limit! We are so excited for our students and so proud of them.
Keep active, stay healthy!
The fitness awards will be handed out by the end of October during our Community Meeting. Feel free to e-mail me for the exact date: [email protected]
