Gym Rats is a very honored position that is earned in PE. Gym rats are the PE assistants each month starting in September. Coach Daily and Coach Miller will choose our Gym rats based off of these 6 characteristics: 1. Athlete is a good example for others to follow 2. Athlete is respectful to teachers as well as other students 3. Athlete is reliable and always prepared (wears tennis shoes) 5. Athlete is reliable and is always here (good attendance) 6. Athlete stays in the gym to be that leader and avoids leaving for the bathroom, etc. (it is school procedure for students to take their restroom break before coming to specials since their time with us is limited) The Gym Rat position is earned, therefore we will not choose students just because they have not had a turn yet, although we ALWAYS evaluate those students first before making our decision. We hope this will inspire students to set a goal to achieve a competitive position. Why do I want to be a Gym Rat? Gym Rats have the honor of: -receiving a Gym Rat token to add to their Mileage Club necklace each time they are chosen -wearing the Gym Rat band during PE -leading the class in warm-ups -getting picked 1st for taggers, its, etc. -name displayed on the Gym Rat wall -1st in line -because it makes you PROUD of your choices! |
