Step Aerobics

Written by: 5th grade journalist Noreen Vu

There was an exciting and fun event in the cafeteria at Franklin School on Friday, 11/04/2016.   A Parent/Child Step Aerobics was hosted by Mr. Jacinto, the principal of Franklin school. The district representatives did some survey on which classes to provide for parents and the community.  Those classes could be the ESL class, citizenship class, the computer class, etc… The exciting part of the afternoon came next.  Music turned on and people got in their positions.   Mr. Jacinto started to guide the crowd.  Hands rose up and down, legs moved forward and backward along with the rhythm of the music.  Movement in variety positions made the participants burning calories in different areas of their bodies.  Mrs. Burrell, a fifth grade teacher said: “It’s a fun way to get exercise”.  After an hour pass by, everybody was tired, but smiles were on their faces. I hope more people will try aerobics next time.
