We will be having our 6th annual Turkey Trot on Monday! We have a one mile race every year before we get out for Thanksgiving to see who is PCES's fastest students. They will start on the track, make one lap, then run up to the sidewalk on South Railroad St., run around PCIS, back in front of PCES, then back down to the track. This will be the first year that we have a handful of teachers that will run with their students. Good luck to everyone!!

2nd - 5th grade students are being tested for the new Alabama Physical Fitness Assessment this week. The assessment involves a one-mile run, push-ups, curl-ups, and V sit.

One-Mile Run - This test  determines the level of cardiovascular fitness (how strong your heart and lungs are).

Push-Ups: This test determines muscular strength and endurance for the muscles in your shoulders, arms, back, and abdomen.

Curl-Ups: This test determines muscular strength and endurance in your back and abdomen.

V Sit: This test determines flexibility.

They are being tested now, and will be tested again in March to determine if their level of fitness has improved.

Exciting news came out this week. Jonathan Wallace will be the starting quarterback for Auburn University this weekend against New Mexico State. Our very own Coach Nelson had the privilege of coaching him in high school for 3 years. Coach Nelson has been a part of the Central High School Football program for 7 years and has been the offensive coordinator for 3 years. We are excited for Coach Nelson and especially Jonathan Wallace.
