Here goes...

My project is called "Got Healthy", a name thought of by me and my parents.  The project is a health and fitness program for the students who are currently in the 2-5 grade.  I have already sent home letters to these kids' parents to get the kids involved.  I have learned that when you hold something in the summer it is kind of hard to get kids to come because of what they already have going on.  Also it is hard because most parents are having to drive them, so they need the time to bring them in, or they live out of town and just can't get them to town.  My mentors are Mr. Gudmundson and Melissa VanGilder.  Interestingly they are both my gymnastics coach.  Mr. G has the experience in health, because he has been the health teacher and he does elementary P.E.  Melissa has the experience of the doctor side of things, which I figure is good to know since I want to be a pediatrician.
