Warrior Wellness: Willowbrook Physical Education Department shares student successes from 2018-19 school year

Welcome to the final Warrior Wellness column for the 2018-19 school year!

Willowbrook students are working hard every day to become more educated with their health and wellness, and we are thrilled to showcase those accomplishments through this monthly column. In this installment, we want to recognize and praise our Outstanding Seniors, as well as all of the students who scored at the top of their class in our final FitnessGram tests.

In 2016-17, the FitnessGram replaced the President’s Challenge as the mandated fitness test. The tests that are now given and their fitness components are:

  • 20-meter Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test: Aerobic Capacity
  • Curl-Up test: Muscular Endurance
  • Push-Up test: Muscular Strength
  • Back-Saver Sit and Reach test: Flexibility

Outstanding Seniors: Victoria Palma and Scott Tumilty

Congratulations to Victoria Palma and Scott Tumilty (pictured above) for being voted as the top two students in the Physical Education Department for the class of 2019. Palma and Tumilty have been very successful in their Willowbrook careers, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors.
