Are you fit or not? The students will compete with other schools in the county to see which one does the best on the presidential fitness test as a whole. The students will complete the 5 activities and an average will be scored in each for each school. A newsletter will be made by the students explaining what the activities are, what it takes to complete, and how their respective school did.
