Pierre Van Cortlandt Middle School eighth-grade health students recently visited Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School to teach their younger counterparts about fitness and nutrition during their physical education classes.“The students planned and prepared various content and activities for the PE classes at CET,” said health teacher Jessica Butts.
Classes rotated through stations led by the students, taking part in activities like planking and relay races, as well as learning about what a well-rounded nutritional dinner plate should look like.
“What did you have for dinner last night?” the eighth-graders asked CET students as they examined different food groups.“We did extensive research on food plates and nutrition,” said eighth-grader James.
Classmate Ellie added, “Proper eating can really make a difference.”
