George L. Myers Fitness Record Board

George-L-Myers-Fitness-Record-BoardTwice a year Myers students participate in a program called FitnessGram. This program contains a series of fitness tests along with a report that is sent home to parents showing them their child’s progress.

One test in the FitnessGram is called the Pacer Test. This test is a running test that measures a student’s aerobic capacity. The test starts out easy and it slowly progresses. Myers students are very motivated for this test because they have a chance to have their name on the Fitness Record Board. The top five scores by Myers students make the Record Board. The student’s name will remain on the board until someone beats their score. The top students in each grade also make the board.

Any student who makes it on the Record Board gets a Physical Education certificate at the end of the school year.
