Kudos to Ms. Nicole Irby, Assistant Principal and Ms. Margie Lee, SC Department of Education for the great professional development classes being offered to the CAJ faculty.
Congratulations to Ms. Campbell’s physical education students who have recently been engaged in baseline Fitnessgram assessments to include body composition, sit & reach, pushups, curlups, trunk lift and PACER. For nearly three decades, the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) Test has been used as part of the Fitnessgram assessment in thousands of P.E. classes in all 50 states. It is arguably the most-talked-about component of Fitnessgram among many current and former physical education students. We are pleased with the competitive spirit that many of Ms. Campbell’s students demonstrated as they performed. Many congratulations to the students and all of our students who did their very best during all of the assessments. Keep up the good work.
