Presidential Fitness Night

Image
By
March 6, 2013 was an evening of stretching, running and reaching. The Pathfinders had the opportunity to show how fast, and flexible they are by participating in the Presidential Fitness Challenge.

The Physical Fitness Test recognizes participants for their level of physical fitness in five activities:
  • Curl-ups (or partial curl-ups)
  • Shuttle run
  • Endurance run/walk
  • Pull-ups (or right angle push-ups or flexed-arm hang)
  • V-sit reach (or sit and reach)
We know that just completing all five activities is an accomplishment. To celebrate this fitness feat,  three awards are offered to the participants, based on their scores.

Presidential Physical Fitness Award
Wow! These kids are seriously fit! This award recognizes participants who achieve an outstanding level of physical fitness. To earn this award, participants must score at or above the 85th percentile on all five activities.

National Physical Fitness Award
Impressive! These kids clearly have a great fundamental level of fitness. Participants earn this award for scoring above the 50th percentile on all five activities.
Participant Physical Fitness Award
Woo hoo! There’s room for improvement, but these participants showed great heart. Participants earn this award if they participate in all five activities, and one or more of their scores fall below the 50th percentile.
Here are some pictures of the event. Good job Pathfinders!

Pathfinders' Sabbath

By
Pathfinder's Sabbath Click on picture for photo album The Pathfinders were responsible for the second service on Sabbath May 14, 2011. They participated in all parts of the program and played and sang the song "I know the plans I have for you" by LordSong. Pastor John Brunt's sermon (Kids did it) reminded us that no matter how young or old you are, there is always something you can do to make a difference in the life of others. He told us about many instances when kids made things that initially seem small and insignificant but at the end became a wonderful project and made a lot of difference to the community. This was officially the last activity of the Pathfinders' Club for the year 2010-2011. Enjoy your summer vacation and we will see you all in August for another exciting year.
