Mrs. Miller’s strength and conditioning class completed the Murph Challenge 2019 before break!
Here is a ‘before’ photo
and here are the post workout photos
Mrs. Miller shared, “The scholars holding a flag sticker did the workout solo. They ran 1 mile, completed 300 squats, 200 pushups, 100 burpees (substitution for pull-ups) and then ended with another mile. Those not smiling in the last photo had finished seconds before 🙂 The Team Challenge was 1/3 of the workout.
These scholars were so inspiring! There were some tears as they learned to push beyond what they thought they were capable of. There were those that had to make a choice to change their attitude and step up to the challenge before them. Scholars cheered each other on and ran extra laps and did extra squats, etc. alongside teammates that were struggling. There was a scholar that I thought had given up on doing it solo and then decided that she refused to fall short of her goal. Her strength made quite a few of us tear up and I watched this little 6th grader earn the respect of high school scholars as they watched her finish her last lap. There were tears of joy and exhaustion at the finish and a sense of pride as they finished what few thought they could do.
When I asked 2 weeks ago who wanted to do the challenge solo, there were 3 that said yes, and that was with some prodding. Today, 17 finished it Solo, and 11 finished it as a Team. Those doing it as a team also learned that they could do more than they gave themselves credit for.
We have focused on mental strength as a large part of our conditioning class this semester and this workout tested both their physical and mental strength, as well as help them learn more about some of the great heroes of our day and the sacrifices they make. You have some amazing scholars at this school!”
Congratulations to Mrs. Miller and her inspiring scholars! Job Well Done!! You Rock!!
Ms. Daniel had some Holiday Magic happening in her classes finals week!!

Calling all STEM Scholars!
Lockheed Martin has launched a new scholarship program to provide opportunities to students who want to build their talents and change the world!

The program will continue to add up to 200 new recipients each year, and will be open to individuals studying engineering or computer science that demonstrate financial need and come from underrepresented or underserved communities.
The scholarship program doesn’t end with a check. Mentoring opportunities will be a key component of the program, and recipients will also be eligible for Lockheed Martin internship opportunities following their freshman year in college.
Scholarship applications for the 2019-2020 school year has ended on March 12, 2019. Applications for the 2020-2021 school year will open in January 2020.
