Shown here, a couple of our overachieving 5th graders run the Pacer Test on their own time after school. Next week we will be completing our second assessment of our cardiorespiratory endurance by running the Pacer Test again. In September we did this, along with setting goals for our next assessment in the new year! Students will have an opportunity to meet and BEAT those goals that they set for themselves. We will also set or adjust our goals, based on the outcome! As always, the credo is to "do YOUR own personal best!"
Students of all ages will complete the assessment in one way or another, with the 4th and 5th graders tracking their scores and setting goals.
*Note: 4th grade students will be beginning their Pacific Northwest Ballet Unit next week. Mr. Barnes hopes to work with the 4th grade teachers to find an opportunity for them to shatter their goals too!

1. Pacer Test
2. Curl Ups in one minute
3. Jump Ropes in 30 seconds
