With the new demands of high school, students can become overwhelmed.  Health and fitness teaches students how to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle even in the thick of students busy high school years.

What do students need for health/fitness? To ensure students are prepared for their first day of health/fitness, students should bring paper, pencils, a calculator for basic calculations, and athletic clothes/shoes to change in for gym.

What will students be learning while in health/fitness? On the average day of health, students will continue to learn nutrition information, drug information, family life, how to function in everyday life and “not be rude,” said Ms. Andrea Poffinberger.  While in freshman fitness, students will learn lifelong fitness tricks, how to stay active, and explore different activities in order to find one they personally enjoy.

What should students avoid doing while in health/fitness? While in health/fitness, students should continue to demonstrate good sportsmanship and hard work.  In no circumstance should students call a peer a “try hard.”  Everyone should give his best effort.

As long as you show up to class and try your best, health and fitness is a fun class students can use to let off some steam and extra stress.
