Be Respectful, Be Excellent, Be Accepting, Be a Leader
This is a W Day.
8th Grade:
People who are physically fit, like athletes, have hearts that can pump about THREE times MORE blood than someone who isn't in shape! This is because regular physical activity increases the size and power of the heart muscle. Additionally, athletes typically have a slower resting pulse rate because their hearts are more efficient per pump.
Friday, March 24th is THE DAY to donate to Hoops for Heart. Please make a donation to take part in the half-time festivities (where you can win prizes!). You don't want to miss this!
