COACH F AND COACH K ARE CRAZY ABOUT OUR RUCKER KIDS!!!!

Throughout the year, our goal is to encourage safe and fun play so that children have the opportunity to practice their sportsmanship skills with their physical, social, and emotional skills. PE is a chance to get up out of that seat, get moving, smile and laugh with their friends. Let’s have another wonderful year here at Ft. Rucker Elementary!!!!

Fitness Checks

As we push to increase the success rate of all our FRES students, we have incorporated a monthly “Fitness Check” that will help track each individual’s progress. Tests include: One-minute sit-ups, thirty-second push-ups, consecutive pull-ups/chin-ups, and a nine-minute run. Each student will then document their own scores and copies of these assessments will be sent home once a semester! GO PANTHERS!!!

Fitness Gram

As some may know, we are on the last year of recognizing the President’s Fitness Challenge as our annual assessment. DODEA has now moved toward a great program called Fitnessgram. Fitnessgram is a computer-based program where we will input their scores and be able to provide detailed reports that will also include recommendations to increase life-long fitness and wellness characteristics into your son/daughter’s daily schedule. Please feel free to research this program and gain more information from http://www.fitnessgram.net/home/.
