On Friday April 24th, the Memorial School 5th
grade classes competed in an online FitnessGram Challenge against the Maywood
School District 5th grade. As part of the technology
integration in our physical education program, we used Skype to connect online
as students were able to view the Maywood students running on the big screen in
gym through use of the projector. The challenge was the PACER run which
is a cardiovascular endurance assessment. We had 20 students compete in
the challenge while the other students were part of the scoring team.
They did such a great job as we won the challenge by a score of 870 to
844! Special thanks to the Maywood School District, Mrs. D’Elia, Ms.
Caporrino, Ms. Gomez, and Mr. Masullo for their assistance in making this run
so smoothly. Go Bulldogs!
