The
Presidential
Youth Fitness Program is designed to help students lead active and fit
lives both in school and later in life. It includes a health-related
fitness assessment for each student and tools to help physical
educators increase student fitness progress. Students are recognized every
step of the way as they achieve their personal best for lifelong health
and fitness. About sixty middle school students who excelled on their
personal fitness scores were invited to the B.M.C.
Durfee High School Luke Urban Field House on May 26, 2016 to compete
for awards among their peers. Physical Education District Coordinator Brad
Bustin organized the event with the help of many physical education
teachers and members of the Durfee
Girls' Basketball Team. The event challenged students on the Pacer or
Beep Test, the Sit and Stretch Test. the Shuttle Run, and a test of
push-ups and sit-ups in a one-minute period. First, second and third place
male and female winners were recognized with certificates. Click
