President's Council on Physical Fitness

The Presidential Physical Fitness Program includes five events that measure muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, speed, agility and flexibility.  The five events are: Sit and Reach, Shuttle Run, Curl-Ups, Pull-Ups, and the Endurance Run.  Everyone is a winner in the Presidential Fitness Program, with children qualifying to receive Participant, National, or Presidential Awards.

The Presidential Fitness Award is the highest of these honors, recognizing students who achieve an OUTSTANDING LEVEL of physical fitness.  Only those boys and girls who score at or above the 85th percentile of qualifying standards on ALL FIVE EVENTS are eligible for this award.  All of our children have worked very hard over this past year to work and improve their scores.  The Presidential Level Award recipients will be recognized at The Moving Up Ceremony which will be held May 25, 2010.
