Jump Rope and Hoops For Heart!!

Springdale is supporting the American Heart Association's Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart program!  Through Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart your child will help kids with special hearts, and learn about how to be heart health and to feel good!

In your child's backpack is information about the program and how to participate.  Family and friends are welcome to support your child's participation by making contributions.  The money that is raised will go towards lifesaving research and educational programs.

During the week of February 2nd - 6th your child will participate in a Jump Rope for Heart event in PE class.  Jump Rope for Heart forms are due February 5th.

Thank you for supporting the American Heart Association!!

4th Grade Physical Fitness Testing Begins This Week

     Starting in November the 4th grade students will begin their physical fitness testing.  All fourth grade students in Connecticut are tested in the following areas:  muscular strength (push-ups), muscular endurance (sit-ups), cardiovascular endurance (PACER run), and flexibility (sit and reach test).
   
     The students have been practicing and preparing themselves for the test each week of class.  Our class warm-up consists of jumping jacks, high-knees, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and planks.  These are all designed to get the students prepared for their test.

     We encourage the students to practice these at home!
