Taking advantage of the balmy December weather, the PE teachers modified the curriculum to include a track and field unit this month. With their eyes focused on the finish line, students gave quick starts and great speed as they accelerated through the 50 yard dash. They sailed around the baton relay course with smooth hand-offs and standout anchor runs. Encountering the natural terrain with an introduction to cross country was another highlight. The students gauged proper effort levels while running a half mile loop that neighbors the school. Some students made it two and three times around! The unit will culminate with the the much anticipated short and long jumps.
