This year the school is doing something a little different to promote fitness. We are doing a school wide mile run on May 6th. This event is called Project 88 and if you get your mile under 9:20 then you will receive a t-shirt. The mile starts on the practice field for the soccer and football team. Then you will run to Gemini all the way to the front of the school and around the back towards the track. Once you hit the track you will do one lap and that will be the finish for the mile. Everyone at the school is encouraged to participate and a lot of the gym classes are making it extra credit to run. I think this is a great way to get kids into exercising because we have a large amount of students that are over weight. I know as a runner, exercise is important to stay healthy and to keep your heart in good condition.
