Cornerstone partners with the Franklin YMCA for Physical Education. Students are transported by bus to the Y, a quick ride up the hill, for weekly PE classes. The YMCA provides qualified staff to work with Cornerstone’s students on fitness, team building, and movement skills. Through our partnership with the Franklin YMCA, our middle school students are able to use the pool and the gym as part of their regular school schedule as well as participate in a variety of games and teambuilding elements on both the low and high ropes challenge courses. In addition to traditional team sports, aquatics, gymnastics, and other fitness games, students participate in the President’s Physical Fitness Challenge.Thanks to a generous grant, Cornerstone completed a Trek Across America where students and families received pedometers and logged their steps, meeting our challenge to make it all the way across the United States in our six-week timeframe.
