We are starting the Fitnessgram Assessment at Longfellow and Mitchell.  It is a web-based fitness program that the district obtained last year.  The Fitnessgram Assessment is a tool we can use to track the fitness levels of all of our students from elementary school through high school.  Along with putting the scores on the computer, the students will use the results of their first assessment to set goals to try and reach as the year continues.  The six assessments are:  pacer test, curl-ups, push-ups, trunk life, back saver sit and reach and body composition.  Check back to see pictures of the students performing these assessments.
