5/6 Fitnessgram Fall 2019: Beginning today, Monday, October 14, 2019, Grades 5-6 will take the Fitnessgram Test. The test is not a pass/fail test but rather a marker to indicate to you where your child’s health and fitness rank in relation to their peer group. The students have practiced the tests, and they are ready to go.
- The girls may wear their black, white, or saddle oxfords tennis shoes.
- If students choose to bring other running shoes, they can change into them in the gym and change back before they head to class.
- They may not wear non-approved running shoes all day.
- Our young ladies should wear modesty shorts under their jumpers or skirts.
