The State has issued a mandate and has not allocated any additional funding to support it.
Here is what it is. All elementary teachers are accountable to supply 100 minutes a week of organized exercise. At this time we are funded within our building 35 minutes a week of PE with the PE teacher Mrs. Scott in the gym. So with this new requirement, we need to supply 65 more minutes. This is not added to our day in minutes spent at school but is to be carved out of already stretched academic time.
In the 5th and 6th grade classes we the teachers have set aside an agreed upon time of Fridays from 12:25 to 1:10pm to give the students with in the 5th and 6th grade classes a choice between the following activities.
Outdoor Sports with Mr. G
Yoga and Stretching with Ms. Vaughn
Aerobics in the Gym with Miss Warren
Walking to the Park with Mrs. Rupp and Myself
We have about 30-32 students in each group. We would love your help in all areas if you are available and have a current volunteer form on file with the Mount Vernon School District.
