Carpenter Elementary First In Fitness 2016-2017 Go Chameleons Go!! Remember to Try your Best!!

What is First in Fitness? First in Fitness is a competition between many of the elementary schools in Wake County. The events are similar to Track and Field events. EVERYONE (Grades 3-5) will compete in all the events during Carpenter PE time. The best boy and best girl in each event for their grade will be invited to compete on the Carpenter Elementary First in Fitness team in March. (1/2 Day Field trip) If there is a tie, Mr. Finch will have those students compete head to head in that event to decide the winner. We will not do these tests again this year (to see if we improved) You can only be selected for one event!!

What Events are in First In Fitness? Standing Long Jump Speed Rope (most jumps in 60 seconds using beaded jump rope) Pull Ups (most before stopping) Mile Run 100 Yard Dash Shuttle Run Triathalon (5TH GRADE ONLY!!) Mile Run, Shuttle Run, pull ups)

If I don’t make the team this year, does that mean that I can’t make the team next year? NO!!! Do not be discouraged if you do not make the team. Remember, the more practice, hard work, and effort you put into these events, the better you will get.
