In terms of grading, students will not be evaluated on their ability to score goals, but how hard they try and their attendance. Student fitness levels will be assessed at the end of every semester. This assessment will involve a short run, sit-ups, push ups, a long jump, and chin ups. The results will not be to penalize the students, but to highlight what athletic skills the children need to work on in the future.
Some parents have expressed concern that children do not have enough time in the day to learn, let alone to run and play. It is our school's philosophy that a run or a rousing game of basketball helps children think better, once the children return to the classroom. Other parents have expressed concern about their children's weight, but it is not the school's place to specifically prescribe a weight-loss program for a young child, rather we would ask parents with such concerns to confer with the school's on-staff nurse or with their private pediatrician to derive a nutritional and exercise program...
Meanwhile, daily physical activity will help all children maintain a healthy weight. Children engaged in strenuous traveling sports may find the atmosphere and varied skill levels different in our school-related sports, but the value of teamwork, we believe will carry over into all physical and academic activities children pursue in school, and in their daily lives.
At the end of the year, parents will be able to attend a field day, where students will compete in races and other physical games. Prizes from 1-6 will be awarded for all activities, although every child will go home a winner, because he or she will have improved in fitness!
If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to volunteer as a referee at field day later in the year, do not hesitate to contact me or the school office.

Such differences may lead us to question whether there are any universal moral principles or whether morality is merely a matter of "cultural taste" (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks and Meyer: 1). If there is no transcendent ethical or moral standard, then cultural relativists argue that culture becomes the ethical norm for determining whether an action is right or wrong. This ethical system is known as cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is the

From the baseball cap and baseball glove that my father posed me in for my first birthday photo
