Here at our 6th Grade Falcon Academy, we encourage our students to serve others. The Yellow Group had an opportunity this morning to practice Habit 6: Synergize and they provided service to our custodian. The job of cleaning up the auditorium after last night's Back to School Night took only a few minutes because everyone worked together. Bradley was a great leader that made sure that chairs were placed on the rack correctly. Service opportunities will be available throughout the year for all 6th grade classes to practice working together as a team. At Falcon Academy, Teamwork and Service helps everyone!
With the PTA's goal this year of having Elk Meadows Elementary achieve a Gold Medal rating in physical fitness, they have asked 5th and 6th grade to incorporate the Presidential Physical Fitness Program into the curriculum. Our students were introduced to the program this week. There are several categories students need to be working on this year to earn the Presidential Award. They are: curl-ups, shuttle run, V-Sit Reach, one mile run, push ups, and pull-ups. We will send home a list of the requirements for the different categories next week, so students will know what they need to work on.
