Jump Rope for Heart!

Our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser is underway! Each year, our school raises money for the American Heart Association to help those with "sick hearts". All the money that we collect is sent into the American Heart Association where they distribute it to Doctors, Patients, etc. This fundraiser is optional. Students do not have to collect donations if they do not want to. In celebration of this fundraiser, we also hold a Jump Rope for Heart day. This is a day where Students will Jump Rope to make their hearts healthier. On this day, music is playing, and students are engaged in stations that include jump ropes, hula-hoops, dancing, limbo. All Students participate on this day regardless if they collect money or not. Feel free to come on out and watch your child participate on his/her Jump Rope for Heart day.

Jump rope for heart dates are (the times are TBA):

March 2 for Tracks 1 & 3

March 9 for Tracks 2 & 4

Collection envelopes are due:

March 2 for Track 1

March 9 for Tracks 2,3,4

Tis the Season!

HI friends! Welcome back to the BRES PE blog page.

I wanted to challenge each and every one of you to make sure you get outside and exercise. Tis the season to EAT! And Eat we will I'm sure :) However, to help us counteract all those extra calories we are consuming, make sure you get some exercise too! Take a walk with your family, ride your bike, play a football game in your back yard with friends and family. These are just a couple of ways that we can make sure we stay healthy and active during the Holidays.

So there is your challenge. Oh and remember any exercise you do can count towards your fitness fun miles. Just make sure to fill out a coupon :)

Happy Holidays to you all!

Mrs. Williford

Congratulations to Ms. Bychurch, Mrs. Penny, and Mrs Camerino's classes for earning the "Shoe" for the month of July. Earning the "shoe" means that they earned the most miles for this month.

Great Job Kids!!!!!

Fitness Fun for Grades 3-5

"Fitness Fun" is an optional program for grades 3-5 that is being started to promote fun, healthy young bodies, and a lifetime full of fitness. It’s easy too! For every thirty minutes of activity your child is active in outside of school, he or she will earn one mile for his or her class team. Rewards for earning miles for each class will be, classroom rewards, getting physically fit, getting healthy, and a shoe charm for every 25 miles your child completes. All that is asked of you is that you, the parents, complete the Fitness Fun Coupon and sign it. A "Fitness Fun Coupon" sheet is attached."Fitness Fun" is only possible if we do this together. I sincerely believe this will benefit your children. Let’s have FUN, and get FIT. Together we can make our children and maybe ourselves healthier and stronger for a FUN, FIT & HEALTHY LIFE.Thank you for your support in this new program!
