Kids On Ice® Schools Skate For Fitness
C.W. Harris Elementary School 2007-2008
In partnership with DC Public Schools Department of Health and Physical Education, the Schools Skate for Fitness is a program is designed to meet the physical education requirements of the elementary, middle and high schools in Washington, DC, and to promote physical fitness and an active lifestyle.
We encourage you to bring the same class or group of students three or four times for a full ice skating curriculum. This curriculum, or repeat instruction, enables those particular children to advance beyond the very basic first skating lesson and to truly develop recreational ice skating skills. Developing strong skating skills increases the likelihood that these children will continue to skate and make exercise and physical activity a regular part of their life.
