Fit for Life Credit 

​

  • Fit for Life credit is only available for 10-12 graders

 

  • Fit for Life through marching band is a two-part process.

    1. The exercise requirements for the class will be completed through your marching band participation.

    2. The second portion is overseen by Coach Walkenhurst and includes online work and 2 physical fitness tests.

      • The online portion is a series of units with multiple-choice tests that are all completed through Canvas. The online portion is relatively simple and nothing to worry over.

 

  • To sign up for Fit for Life, you will need to do the following:

    1. Wait until the new school year begins.

    2. At the very beginning of the new school year, pay the $25 fee in the main office.

    3. Turn a copy of the receipt into Coach Walkenhurst and let him know that you want to be enrolled in Fit for Life through marching band.

 

  • After you have signed up for Fit for Life, you will receive emailed information from Coach Walkenhurst explaining the online course requirements and physical fitness tests and dates.

 

  • Because Fit for Life is overseen by Coach Walkenhurst, and not Mr. Mangelson, please direct all Fit for Life questions to Coach Walkenhurst.
