8th graders are expected to complete a 5K to pass PE for the year. They are allowed to complete this walk/run outside of school. If completed outside of school, they must bring in proof of their completion; ie bib number, shirt. If they don't complete the 5K outside of school, they will complete it the last couple weeks of class. Attached is a list of 5K races in the area. There are more, but here are a couple and their information.





Students who didn't complete the Bushy Run 5K or a 5K on their own will be pulled out in the next 2 weeks to complete the 5Kduring school hours.

Each student will be completing a mile on the treadmill at least once every other week and will be logging their time on the chart preparing them for the "Trafford Middle 5K on April 20th!
