Speed Stackers

On Monday we had a representative from Speed Stackers come and present to our PE classes!

The kids loved it! We had a great time making connections between the left and right side of our brains and improving our eye-hand coordination.

Just 20 minutes of speed stacking can improve focus in the classroom. A large number of our learners purchased their own set of cups from me this week, enabling us to get an entire class set for free to use as part of our PE program!

I still have a couple of sets left if your child is interested! Speed Stacking is an awesome alternative to screen time and can be done anywhere!

If your family is interested in attending a Speed Stacking tournament to see what the sports side of it is all about, click here for the Dallas area tournament coming up in March!

Kids Heart Challenge

I am so excited to announce that Pinkerton not only met our goal of $8,000, but we surpassed it, earning just over $10,000 for the American Heart Association!

We had a super fun Valentine's Day Extravaganza in the gym to celebrate!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated this year! Not only did we earn money for research, awareness and education, but the Pinkerton PE program earned over $800 to purchase equipment for our gym! Yippee!!

Pinkerton Running Challenge

The list of Pinkerton Runners who are crushing their goals is growing!

I am so proud of everyone who is participating and setting themselves up for a lifetime of healthy habits! Check out the Pinkerton Running Challenge bulletin board outside the gym and see who is on track to earn a medal at our end of year Awards Assembly!

Why should kids run?

Here are 6 reasons why.
