Massapequa High School Students Stay Fit
The goal of the club is to provide students with an opportunity to engage in various activities that promote overall wellness.
From Massapequa HS: Massapequa High School’s Ames Campus has introduced a new way for students to stay fit. More than a dozen ninth-graders attended the first after-school workout of the Fitness Club on Oct. 18.
The advisers, special education teacher Kathleen Wegener and speech therapist Trish DePalma, led a pound fitness workout. Students used drumsticks and moved to music as they followed an exercise video that played on the Smart Board. The goal of the club is to provide students with an opportunity to engage in
various activities that promote overall wellness. Upcoming meetings will include Zumba, aerobics and outdoor walks, and students will also learn how to make healthy snacks.
Fitness Club is open to all ninth-graders who are looking for ways to stay healthy and fit, but it also supports students in the Career and Community Connections program. They are each paired up with another Ames student during workouts as the motto of the club is “Exercise is more fun with a buddy.”
