Dorris Place Fitness Fair 2014

We held the third annual Tiger Training Day Fitness Fair & Walkathon to raise money for a Physical Education fund at Dorris Place Elementary School. Back by popular demand we had everyone's favorite stations including Yoga, Zumba, Relay Race, Basketball drills, Soccer drills, Run, Skip, Walk, plus the informative Food Fact station and healthy and delicious snacks from LuciOrganics.
Since Dorris Place currently has no designated P.E. teacher, our regular classroom teachers are spending precious group lesson planning time to fulfill the school's requirement to provide physical education. A trained P.E. teacher or physical education program would help our children learn about different kinds of sports like soccer and basketball, and have physical health and exercise as part of a specific curriculum. This would free up our teachers for important lesson planning work -- which is a key factor in raising our children's grades and test scores.
Thank you to all the students, parents, family, friends, teachers, staff, community, POD members, and volunteers for all of your efforts and generous contributions to support the Dorris Place Physical Education Fund. Your continued support means the world to us and the students of Dorris Place Elementary School. Special thank you and a big tiger roar to all of this year's sponsors including 24 Hour Fitness, Atwater Screen & Glass Shop, Big Saver Foods, Duggink Studio, Elysian Valley Recreation Center, Home, IHOP, LuciOrganics, POTS Photography, and The Stronghold Climbing Gym.
