PE Walking Program
Walking Program: students in first-fifth grades walk once a week for twenty minutes. This is to improve their cardiovascular system through running. Each student tries to acquire eight laps which represents a mile on our track. The students can achieve different mile clubs beginning with five, ten, fifteen, and twenty. Certificates are presented to the students when they achieve this goal. |

The Ability Fair is held every other year. With the coordination of the Special Education teachers this fair is for children in the traditional classroom to experience first hand how it feels to have certain disabilities and ways for us to adapt learning for students with special needs. This event requires parent volunteers. |
