Physical Education 
Students have PE everyday. To prevent any slips or falls during
physical activities, parents are advised to send their children to school wearing durable
rubber soled shoes, preferably sneakers.
For more information concerning what is going on in
PE, check your child's PE teacher's web page.

Hello everyone, this is your friendly coaching staff. Just a few things.
We are continuing to test your child's fitness level through the
district's Fitnessgram. Areas tested are: push-ups, curl-ups, shoulder
flexibility, back strength/ab flexibility, cardio- vascular endurance
through the Pacer test, and the Body Mass Index. In order to help maximize
your child's ability to succeed in this testing, we urge every parent to
consider footwear when they send their child off to school. It is a school
policy that proper shoes be worn for school activities.
We at Thousand Oaks would like to encourage family participation in the Go
Kids Challenge. Make this a family event that will bond you and your child
using healthy activities and good communication opportunities. Childhood
obesity and diabetes is on the rise. Take a moment to learn about this
disease and educate your child about the dangers associated with this
potentially deadly disease. Diabetes is debilitating and can lower quality
of life for your child through its medical demands and effects on the
body. This is just one of the reasons Thousand Oaks is committed to
programs such as the Go Kids Challenge and Fast As Lightning Running Club.
NEISD is focusing on ways to assess your child's fitness. Since we are on
the subject of running club, let me tell you the running has begun. Our
goal is to run every Wednesday, weather permitting. Our T-shirt fundraiser
has moved back to the spring due to all the fundraisers taking place at
the beginning of the year and the hurricane relief efforts. We truly
appreciate your support through this fundraiser. It allows us to reward
those children that have excelled in the running club, and hopefully
encourage those who strive to get better. We also are able to update our
equipment faster and hopefully broaden the scope of activities your child
will be involved.
Coach Carrell and I are looking at creating a walking club. Our hope in
all our activities is to challenge, inspire, motivate, and encourage your
child to explore what their limitations are and not accept them, but find
ways around or over them. We are pushing them to reach new limits and not
settle for the standard, but achieve the extraordinary. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me through my e-mail: kjohn126@neisd.net.
My time with your children is precious and if there is something to make
it better for them, please do not hesitate to let me know. I feel
hesitation is the cancer of progress.
To borrow a quote from the Army and make it mine - A community of
ONE, that should be a goal of ours for strength, support, and the future.
Thanks for your support.
