Lift-A-Ton Club - starts Tuesday, 2/6

1/21/2024 6:45 am

Miss Marcucci and Mr. Oldenburg are sponsoring the Lift - A - Ton Club at Monroe School. 

Students in grades 2 through 5 are invited to participate in our before school Lift - A - Ton Club.  This is an opportunity for our students to improve their upper body strength.  Students will determine the number of repetitions needed to ‘lift - a - ton’, by completing a designated number of push-ups.  The students will work another club member to help count repetitions.  

Weight tokens will be awarded for each ton lifted.  We have calculated that students will be able to earn a weight token after a few club meetings.  The tokens are similar to those earned with the Milers Club. The club meets from 8:05 to 8:25 am.  We will meet in the gym for this activity. 

Please see FLYER for meeting dates, permission slip, and more details.
