BHCS students challenge their fitness in PACER Olympics
The Weekly Packet
|11/7/2019
BLUE HILL—Stretched across one end of the Blue Hill Consolidated School gymnasium October 29, 31 students were poised to take offrunning—not for speed but for endurance, in a program where students compete against their own level of fitness.
How many laps could they run back and forth across the shiny hardwood floor before dropping in exhaustion?
PACER stands for Progressive Aerobic Capacity Endurance Run, and these middle school students had already made the PACER Olympics team by scoring over a 90 during gym class, where PACER was implemented by physical education teacher Bob McCormick in 2006. The goal was to improve students’ cardiovascular fitness, and therefore decrease the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, BHCS Principal Shelly Schildroth said, and the students’ results stood out.

A step toward effective climate strategy
As weather-related disasters ramp up around the state and the country, the most noticeable increase in public participation in these climate-related discussions is a demand for more government funding for repairs and adaptation, and yet pretty much zero discussion about decreasing the rate of climate warming. This is both unsurprising and a cause for deep concern.
