Students at Pine Bush Elementary School took part in the Presidential Mile recently, culminating in a race for qualifiers in grades 3, 4 and 5 on the high school track. And what an exciting day it was!
The Presidential Youth Fitness Program is a school-based program that promotes health and regular physical activity for our youth. It offers educators access to a health-related assessment for youth fitness, professional development for meaningful implementation, and motivational recognition to empower students to adopt and maintain an active lifestyle. The program has been in existence since 1966.
At PBE, students took part in the running program and had to qualify with specific times in order to make it to the finals. Qualifying times were different for each age group. Congratulations to all who participated and all who won. Keep running!
And a special thanks for the enthusiastic fans who showed up to cheer on the runners!
