Flag+Football=Fitness

     9/21/10. According to Physical Education Teacher Geoffrey Kaiser, here's what's going on in PE Skills 1: Students started a flag football unit last week and have been working hard at getting to know the rules of such a complicated game. They are also becoming more skilled in throwing and catching. The students already finished a volleyball unit and are moving on to soccer next week.

     The physical education department this year is paying special attention to fitness testing to see where Messmer students rank according to national averages and goals in a series of fitness tests. 

     A record board has been purchased to display Messmer's finest fitness performances completed during a PE class.  

     Students have really "jumped on-board" with 90 minute PE classes as part of the new block schedule. For the teachers, it means more time in the gym, pool, or weight room, and less time in the locker room.
