Cup Stacking at MLK

MLK student's have been cup stacking in P.E. class! This activity is an excellent way to improve hand-eye coordination. Research shows that this activity activates the right and left brain and helps with bilateral coordination. It is a great way to incorporate fitness into the physical education curriculum and it is a brain-based activity. Both middle school and elementary student's have been practicing how to cup stack using proper form with both hands by doing the 3 cup and 6 cup system. Below are some videos of student's in action.

Today MLK student's are learning about how they can raise money to help children with heart disease. This also helps raise awareness to the importance of being heart healthy by exercising every day. Student's are receiving a packet to take home with information about various fundraising prizes student's can earn. Also, there's information about how student's can go online to create a donation account. Last year, we raised over $7,000! Our goal for this year is to raise $10,000.
