Healthy & Balanced Teen

St. Anastasia Cathol School's Wellness Guidelines support total student wellness, including good nutrition, and regular physical activity. Good health fosters school attendance and participation. Children that are healthy and fit are ready to learn. Obesity rates have doubled in children and tripled in adolescents over the last two decades, and physical inactivity and excessive caloric intake are the predominant causes of obesity.

The Ram Fit Physical Fitness Program includes five events that measure muscular strength/endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, speed, agility, and flexibility. In order to qualify for this award, participants must achieve at least the 85th percentile in all five events. These standards are based on the scoring procedures from the Presidential Fitness Test. 

• Students in grades 4-8 that pass five events will be awarded the RAM FIT Gold t-shirt to wear in place of their grey PE shirt. Students will also receive a RAM FIT certificate from our Principal.
• Students in grades K-3 will be awarded based on their overall participation rating given by the PE teacher. These students will have shown a high level of effort in physical education throughout the school year. They will receive a RAM FIT gold t-shirt and a RAM FIT certificate from our Principal.
