First in Fitness

First in Fitness is on March 14, 2019, March 20 is the rain date. It wilL take place at South East Raleigh High School. It will start at the football stadium at approximately 10:30. It is a fitness competition with 25 schools in the southern wake county area participating. Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade take 6 fitness tests during PE class. They are the 100 yard dash, mile run, speed rope for 60 seconds, standing long jump, pull ups and a 30 foot shuttle run. The top performing girl and boy on each test, on each grade level will be chosen to participate. There is a special event just for 5th graders called the triathlon. These studens participate in the pullups, shuttle run and the mile run.

I have included 2 how to videos from another PE in Wake County on how to do the shutttle run and pull ups because there are usually a lot of questions about how the chidren are supposed to do these two events.

I will be sending inormation and permission forms for the students who have qualified in the next couple of weeks.
