Students are expected to dress out daily. This includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, or sweatpants. Students need to dress appropriately for the weather. All PE clothes must be appropriate. This means no profanity, as well as inappropriate pictures or writing. All t-shirts must have sleeves. Students are expected to dress out daily; a student who does not dress out will NOT receive points for that day. Makeups will be possible and announced at a later date by the teachers.
Why Weight Training?
The purpose of weight training is to promote the development of muscular strength and endurance, as well as a way to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity. Students will learn to identify the major muscle groups and how to increase the performance of each of these groups through weight training. Weight training can build self-esteem and self-pride.
