FITNESS TESTING
Each fall, we as a P.E. staff conduct a series of physical
fitness tests to all students at Clark Lane Middle School in
the areas of Muscular Strength (Push-ups), Muscular
Endurance (Curl-ups), Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Mile
Run/PACER) and Flexibility (Sit and Reach). Student results
are then compared to state goals based on age and gender,
and then compiled results are submitted to the state. Below
are the four assessments and goals students will try to
meet. These results identify areas of strengths and
weaknesses that drive the design of our monthly warm-ups
and progress and improvement is monitored throughout the
school year.

MOVE 60 MINUTES A DAY!
In today’s technological world, students are moving
less…so we encourage your child to “move 60 a day”…60
minutes of physical activity on a daily basis. With your
support and continued encouragement to fulfill this goal for
your child, the health benefits are not only physical, but
mentally and emotionally as well. We are doing our best to
create “life-long movers” that understand the value of
exercise in their lives!

child to “move 60 every day”

Forming “Healthy Habits” Worksheets
for Students and Parents
Students in 7th and 8th grade are given a “Healthy
Habits” worksheet in the spring to complete over a
two week period that charts daily activities and
food consumption so that students get a snapshot
of the foods they are eating and how much
exercise they are getting. This information helps
students gain a real understanding of the impacts
both nutrition and exercise have on the human
body, so that it heightens awareness of how to live
a healthy life. Parents are asked to monitor and be
involved in this two week survey.
