Student Testimony<br />

"I am proud of what I have<br />

accomplished this year,<br />

especially since P.E. isn't my<br />

strongest suit. I didn't expect to<br />

win, but winning inspired me to<br />

do better in the future.<br />

The Olympian (Barbara<br />

Edmonson) that came was<br />

amazing! She told us about her<br />

background and how she<br />

became an Olympian for track &<br />

Field. After that, she did a couple<br />

of exercises with us and would<br />

also play a few games. Coming<br />

from a person who doesn't love<br />

exercising, the games were<br />

surprisingly fun! She pushed and<br />

encouraged us to try our best,<br />

and so I became more motivated.<br />

Teacher Testimony<br />

"As I was in the process of choosing the<br />

one student who was the most<br />

deserving of the award, I thought about<br />

the most critical criteria that puts a<br />

student at a disadvantage. I determined<br />

that it was Body Mass Index (BMI).<br />

Those students with BMIs not in the<br />

Healthy Fitness Zone were more likely<br />

not to pass 5 out of the 6 <strong>FitnessGram</strong><br />

categories. Of all my students passing 5<br />

or more of the 6 categories, Kayla S.<br />

had the highest BMI (28.4). She<br />

overcame despite the odds being<br />

against her."<br />
