Hello all Lake Ridge Students and Parents,
It is time to have a heart to heart talk!! Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. You can help prevent heart disease by making healthy choices and managing any medical conditions one may have.
During January students in physical education once again participated in the heart adventure program. We discussed how the heart works, heart rate and the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy heart as we participated in the heart adventure obstacle course. This February, we will continue to study the heart while participating in the American Heart Association - Jump Rope for Heart. Students in third, fourth and fifth grade received a packet with information to explain this unit. Students will be fund raising for the Association and any donations are greatly appreciated. Our jump rope event will take place the week of Valentines Day. All students in PE will participate in jump rope skills for the hour long class.
KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY AND HAPPY:
Eat a healthy diet
Maintain a healthy weight
Exercise Daily
Do not Smoke
"GYM SHORTS"
Teaching with Coach K this semester will be Caroline Deakins a student teacher from ETSU.
Please remember to wear athletic shoes and comfortable clothing to your PE class. Do not wear crocs, wheelies or flip flops.
If a student needs to be excused from PE due to illness or injury a note from home is required. If it is to be more than two days a physicians notice is expected.
