Pep Rally for Being Active

We started the school year with a Pep Rally in the gym.  Ms. Carter and her fellow cheerleaders led an assembly for 3rd-6th grade students.  The President’s Challenge was presented to the students:  Students should be active 60 minutes a day at least 5 days per week.  Students can be active and improve their cardio by walking, jogging, biking, dancing, or playing sports.  Pedometers were also introduced to the students.  A pedometer is a device that keeps track of the number of steps one takes.  Boys should aim for 13,000 steps a day while girls should try to achieve  11,000 steps a day.  The students are learning to use pedometers in their physical education class.
