Welcome to PE!

Info on the Mustang Mileage Club

To promote fitness and to give our Highland Park students an activity to do before school starts, I am supervising a running club from 8:30 until the bell rings, on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Any students in 1st through 5th grade are eligible to join in. The students report to the starting area, in the NW corner of the playground, when they arrive at school. They begin running or walking laps and pick up a popsicle stick every time they complete a lap ( 10 laps is equal to a mile) When time is up, students line up under their grade level sign and get their laps recorded, and return the sticks. The ultimate goal is to complete a marathon (26.2 miles) before Thanksgiving! Tokens will be awarded to those students who achieve the 5, 10, 15, 20 and 26.2 mile markers!

GO MUSTANGS!

PE at Highland Park is designed so that all students can be successful regardless of age, gender or ability level. It is developmentally appropriate, student centered, and action packed!

(Not all grade levels will participate in all activities listed.)

Daily Expectation in PE class are:

· Show respect and good sportsmanship at all times.

· Give your best effort in all activities, and have a good attitude.

Students are graded daily on their ability to meet the class expectations.
