The Country School Makes Significant
Commitment to Childhood Fitness
The Country School has enacted a new fun and unique approach to exercising
this fall. With a varied program and strong encouragement, Cougar Fit
has truly changed how the kids look at physical training. It is a new program
that not only emphasizes warm up and fitness, but injury prevention as well.
Special attention is paid to building upper body strength, as kids these days
are much weaker in their upper bodies than generations prior, due to all the
time inside and not enough free play. Specialized equipment has been purchased
to enhance the program, like abdominal mats, pull up bands and weight
bars. Cougar Seals Training has also been introduced to third and fourth
graders. This workout creates group cohesion, as all participants in a squad
must finish various physical tasks or missions, together, prior to moving on to
the next one.
Because the program is different everyday, it provides structure, teaches
a child to be a self-starter (as they are responsible to start their exercises on their
own after changing into gym clothes) and commitment. Susan Bohaker, athletic
director, and physical education teacher and coach says, “The Country
School has made a HUGE commitment to further developing the physical wellness
of a child through a strong physical education program. Creating and implementing
the Cougar Fit program is a reflection of that.”
About The Country School
The Country School is an independent, coeducational, Kindergarten
through eighth-grade school founded in 1934. Its mission and philosophy is to
offer a challenging program in a nurturing environment with small classes, individual
attention, and outstanding teachers as its hallmarks. A traditional,
structured, responsive, and age-appropriate curriculum focuses on building
basic skills and serves a range of student abilities within a family school context.
The school strives to educate the whole child in an atmosphere that fosters
high academic standards, instills a love of learning, and provides a solid
foundation for future education. Enrichment in the arts, athletics, and co-curricular
activities offers additional arenas for individual achievement and leadership.
By emphasizing the importance of strong values and character, the
faculty consistently reinforces responsible behavior, self-discipline, and positive
attitudes. Working in concert, Country School teachers and parents help
students develop confidence and competence and reach toward their highest
potential. To learn more about The Country School, visit http://www.countryschool.org
