Why do I have to change clothes for gym class?
Our schools in New Jersey are fortunate enough to have physical education
mandated by the State Dept. Of Education. Our programs must meet State
Standards in order to ensure our students are getting the maximum impact
from their Physical Education curriculum. For this reason our classes are
physically challenging, usually causing a student to perspire. We require a
change of clothes for several reasons, mainly hygenic in nature. Do you
really want to be wearing sweaty clothes for the remainder of your school
day after gym class? Also, changing clothes keeps your school attire clean
and tidy for the rest of your classes.

What is my locker combination?
It is UP TO YOU to write down your locker number AND your lock combination.
This is a great chance to get those brain cells fired up! MEMORIZE this
improtant information!!!

Why do we have to have 'Fitness Day'?
We want all of our students to understand the importance of LIFETIME
physical fitness. Walking and jogging as well as some basic exercises are
things you can do throughout your lifetime that are easily performed,
inexpensive, and can remain challenging. Once a week we ask that you
participate in the Fitness Day activities for your good health.

Why do we have to take 'gym?'
A human being's lifespan is about 75 years or a bit more. Why not plan to
live into your hundreds? Fitness is a major factor in good health. Activity
can improve your heart's function, keep muscles strong, reduce the effects
of arthritis and diabetes (may even prevent these conditions) and can help
you maintain an acceptable body weight for your lifetime. Also it keeps you
looking young! Just look at Mrs. Hamer...does she look 65?
