Fitness Week
Welby Way Fitness Week
Each year Welby Way has our amazing Fitness Week. This is an opportunity for the kids to engage in fun physical activities to promote health and fitness. This week is filled with a variety of activities during recess and lunch like Martial Arts, Basketball, Bollywood, CrossFit and much more! In addition to the events during school hours, we have added some new afterschool activities. Students participating in Recess and Lunchtime activities will earn points for their class and winning classes will be recognized at the Awards Assembly at the end of the week. In addition to joining in on our activities at school throughout the week, we are promoting healthy eating at home too! Keep an eye out for our healthy eating chart and keep track of all of the fruits, vegetables and healthy food choices you are making and earn additional points. We are also kicking off Fitness Week with our Wellness Weekend so make sure you sign and return “Screen-Free Weekend Pledge” to your teacher by Monday to earn even more points for your class.
FRIDAY SPIRIT WALK – This year’s much anticipated Spirit Walk will feature a new award “The Spirit Award”! Which will be awarded at Friday’s Assembly to the one class with the most spirit (think wigs, glasses, hats, etc. in their class color or fun props that correlate to their class name/theme).

Fundraising
Every year during Fitness Week at Welby Way students get involved in fun physical activities, while also raising money for the Physical Education program, equipment and coaches that work with our kids on a regular basis. Fitness week fundraising helps to directly pay for our 2 Full Time PE coaches. Within LAUSD multiple schools usually share PE coaches and teachers are expected to lead and conduct PE for their individual classes. The PE and Psychomotor programs at Welby, keep our kids active and involved, and are a great part of the curriculum that our amazing school offers. We count on monies raised during fitness week to pay for these fabulous programs at Welby. OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL THIS YEAR IS $30,000!!!
