Flashback Friday: Jump Rope for Heart Week

Today is Flashback Friday at King Arts.  In March, students participated in Jump Rope for Heart week.  This year, the students raised over $5,000 for the American Heart Association.

Middle school students participated in short jump rope, long jump rope, and weighted jump rope competitions.  They also raced while jumping over hurdles and measured their vertical.  The boys enjoyed perfecting their dunks on a lowered rim.  Below is a video of a student doing a 360 dunk!

Elementary students learned and practiced using short and long jump ropes.  They also bounced on fitness balls, played hop-a-scotch, and many other jumping activities!

Field Day!

Today was field day for elementary.  What a blast!  The students participated in various activities.  Students played flag tag and steal the bacon. They did the three-legged race, water relay, and hurdles.  Some students had fun jumping rope and hula hopping, while others played four-square and danced.  The fan favorite was the inflatable obstacle course race!  It was a perfect day for it with sunny skies and 60 degree weather. Our very own professional parent DJ kept the event rocking with the latest tunes.  A special thank you to all the parent helpers and the 7th graders who did a fabulous job running the stations and setting up the equipment.  What a great day!!

Workout Wednesday

Today, elementary worked on their fitness and skills during Workout Wednesday's station rotation.  Below is a picture of the students in action!
