Physical Education Coach Cam Parker
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive & Dodge To end the school year the students got to participate in a good, old-fashioned DODGEBALL UNIT!! When the proper equipment is used and the activity is governed properly, dodgeball is a great way for students to work on throwing and catching skills, agility, spacial awareness and sportsmanship. (But please don‘t tell them, they just think that it‘s a fun perk after a year of hard work). Middle school students form a league, with a regular season that has standings updated daily and an end of the season tournament. The Smurf Whales were this year‘s regular season champ. Jump Rope Winners Announced The winners of this year‘s annual Jump Rope completion are: 1st Place – The Oompa Loompas - Jacqueline Kessler, Ashley Frye, Stephanie Kim, Ashley Petty & Chandrika Balkheimer 2nd Place – The Yellow Jackets - Sarah Lentz & Dallas Tealer 3rd Place – Bacon & Sausage -Tiffany Millian & Elizabeth Mills Presidential Physical Fitness Awards The students worked so hard this year and it showed in the results. This year over 64% of MMS students in 1st through 8th grade were awarded the ‗Presidential‘ title. This means that those students are in the top 15% of all students in the nation, for their age and gender, in all five fitness events. Our number has steadily climbed over recent years and Coach Cam will be submitting our results in hopes of being State Champions for our school size in physical fitness. The students may not always enjoy lap day, but this year 76% of our students met their Presidential mile times. Also of note, 90% of our school met Presidential standards in push-ups. Overall, 87% of the students meet at least National standards (top 50% for age and gender) in all five events. Way to go Knights!
