Baseline Data in Action!

Our Hawks kicked off their Fit Assessments this week by collecting push-up baseline data! Working in pairs, students coached each other on proper form—putting collaboration and connection into practice while learning that growth is about effort and strategy, not just a number.
We can’t wait to see how far their strength soars over the next few weeks!
