He Ran So His Fellow Students Didn't have to

I was so proud of one of my students today. I found out what he did in PE yesterday.

We all went on a walking field trip yesterday, about 2.5 miles. And, it got into the 80's yesterday. When we returned they were pooped and didn't want to run at PE.

One student said, "I'll do anything so we don't have to run today."

The PE teacher said that the class won't have to run if this boy does 20 push-ups, 25 jumping jacks and something else (don't remember).

My student asked if he could replace the push-ups with a substitute exercise. PE teacher said he could run 3 laps in lieu of the push-ups.

He did it! He did the other exercises AND ran in order for his fellow students not to have run. Talk about sacrifice!
