Monroe Elementary School PTA to accept $10,000 check from the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness
At 10:30 a.m. Thursday, October 15, 2009, Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Chairman Jake Steinfeld will be at Monroe Elementary on Thursday to present the Monroe PTA with a $10,000 check. The check will be presented in honor of the PTA winning a 2009 Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Spotlight Award presented by the Anthem Blue Cross Foundation.
Six years ago only 6.6 percent of the fifth grade students at Monroe could pass the California State Physical Fitness exam. Due in large part to the PTA’s support of physical activity and physical education over the last five years, 46.3 percent of Monroe’s fifth-grade students passed the same test last year.
