Dear parents, students, teachers and staff,

Welcome back!!! This will mark the seventh year of the morning Fitness Club for third, fourth and fifth grade students at Arongen. This program will focus on the development of flexibility, strength, cardiovascular fitness, speed and the general enjoyment of exercise and fitness.

The program will run from 7:30am until 8:00am on Monday (3^rd grade only) and Wednesday and Friday (4^th and 5^th grade). Parents or guardians will need to drop their student off at Arongen at 7:30 in order to be part of this opportunity, the buses arrive at 7:50 and unfortunately this is too late to join in.

Participation in this program is a privilege and students must receive parental permission as well as their homeroom teacher’s permission to participate. Students are expected to follow our Arongen physical education rules at all times. This includes wearing appropriate clothing and athletic sneakers.

"Fitness Club" will begin Monday, September 22, 2008. Students must have their permission slip completed in order to participate. "Fitness Club" will conclude on the first week of June. We look forward to this being another enjoyable year!

Thank you and stay fit!
