Fitnessgram Mile Test. Teachers Please Come Join Us!

This Wednesday our students will be participating in their official Mile Test for the Prudential Fitnessgram.  Each year our 7th graders are given a battery of tests for cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility, and physical strength.  

These scores are reported to the State Board of Education and are used to see how fit the states children are.

With obesity levels rising and children's tendencies to be sedentary it is important to keep track of our students progress.  

Historically Patrick Henry Middle School has ranked in the top 5 percent in the state of California and is consistently one of the highest scoring schools in LAUSD.

We would like to invite our faculty to come out and jog/walk with the students this Wednesday.

We have had many teachers come out in the past and the kids get a kick out of you being with them on the track.

You will be able to make connections with them outside of the classroom that could bring you better relationships with the students inside the classroom.  Not to mention the health benefit.

If you want to join us we usually start about 12-15 minutes into each period.

So lace up your jogging shoes, grab your Patrick Henry water bottle, and some sunscreen and meet us on the field.
