Superintendent's Fitness Challenge
Working with the elementary physical education teachers, Superintendent John Xanthis encouraged students to increase their fitness levels by participating in the 2012 Delaware River Walk/Run. All elementary students who participated received a Superintendent's Fitness Challenge Certificate. Xanthis presented the certificates to the participants during special events held at both elementary schools on May 8.

The results were tremendous.
ASK Elementary School: The Fit Kids Committee hosted a "Healthy Breakfast" for all of its Delaware River Run participants. The Superintendent attended the breakfast, expressing great pride in the students as he presented the Fitness Challenge certificates. ASK usually averages around 30 teachers and students. This year, the school beat its goal of 100 for the Superintendent's Challenge with 102 teachers and students participating: 87 students and 15 teachers. 

Congratulations to the following ASK students for placing in their age categories: Harry Tomasi (1st), Asher Pelton (3rd) and Z'Nada Bridges (3rd), and Chris Sicina, who won the bike raffle.    
 

Bicentennial Elementary School: The HBE PTA hosted a Pizza Party for the 43 students who participated in this year's Delaware River Run. The Superintendent joined the students for lunch. Afterwards, he personally recognized every student, presenting each of them with their Fitness Challenge certificate. Following the award ceremony, the physical education teachers and students enjoyed free play time in the gym.

Congratulations to the two HBE students who placed in the Delaware River Run in their age categories: Jillian Shearer (1st) and Dezel Vilsaint (3rd).
